Pateley Bridge (bridge)

Pateley Bridge is a historic bridge across the River Nidd in North Yorkshire, in England. The bridge connects the town of Pateley Bridge with the village of Bewerley and carries the B6265 road. There was a ford at the site in the early mediaeval period, but by 12th century there was a wooden bridge. John Leland described a wooden bridge here in the 16th century. By 1647, it appears to have been rebuilt in stone, and the bridge was repaired and partially rebuilt on several occasions. The current structure dates from the late 18th century, and was grade II listed in 1967. The bridge is built of stone and consists of three segmental arches, two over the river. The bridge has pointed cutwaters that rise as pilaster buttresses with flat coping, recessed voussoirs, and a raised band at road level.

Pateley Bridge railway station

Pateley Bridge railway station is a disused railway station in North Yorkshire, England. The station was the terminating station on the North Eastern Railway (NER) Nidd Valley branch line. The station opened in 1862 and had a single platform; a small goods yard and a small locomotive depot, comprising a shed and a railway turntable. In 1907 a connection was opened from the station, across the main street in Pateley Bridge to link the Bradford Corporation owned Nidd Valley Light Railway (NVLR) with the NER branch line. This connection was only used by goods traffic as the NVLR opened its own passenger station a few hundred metres away and passengers had to walk between the two stations. The station was host to a camping coach in 1933 and 1935, possibly one for some of 1934 and two coaches from 1936 to 1939, the station was also used as an overnight stop for touring camping coach service in 1935. All traffic on the NVLR ceased in 1936 and the Nidd Valley branch went into a decline which led to the withdrawal of passenger services in 1951 and the closure of the line and the station to all traffic in 1964. The main station building at Pateley Bridge survived and is now in private use.
