FRAMWELLGATE BRIDGE
The original bridge was built by RANULF FLAMBARD (Bishop of Durham 1099-1128) as the first permanent river crossing and. was defended by a tower and gateway which were demolished in 1760.
The present bridge as seen from downstream was rebuilt by BISHOP LANGLEY in the early 15th century and was widened from 6.2 metres to 8.6 metres upstream in the early 19th century.
