Suspension road bridge crossing the River Tees. 1829-31 by John and Benjamin
Green. Rock-faced sandstone piers; tooled-and-margined pylons; wood-planked
roadway deck; wrought-iron suspension chains and links. Single span of almost
53 metres. Rectangular-plan piers and pylons at north and south ends of-bridge
have slightly-battered profile. Piers rise from massive plinth to a double
blocking course. Upon these piers two piers rise to either side of roadway
and terminate, above a cornice, with a block through which the double suspension
chains pass. Roadway, 10 metres above river, has simple railings. North-east
and south-east ends of bridge terminated by squat octagonal-plan piers with
corniced caps.
Whorlton Bridge straddles the parishes of Whorlton and Wycliffe with Thorpe.
