Tanfield Bridge

Tanfield Bridge is a historic bridge connecting West Tanfield and North Stainley in North Yorkshire, in England. There may have been a bridge over the River Ure at the site in the Mediaeval period, but if so it had collapsed by the time of John Leland's visit. A stone bridge was constructed in 1609, but was washed away in a flood in 1733. It was rebuilt by Robert Dee and was nearly finished when another flood badly damaged it. It was eventually completed in 1738, and was extended to the east in the late 18th century, its width being doubled. The road over the bridge is now the A6108. The bridge was grade II listed in 1989 and is also a scheduled monument. English Heritage examined the bridge in 2002 and recommended that its scheduling was removed and it was upgraded to a grade II* listing, but this was not implemented. The bridge is built of stone, rusticated and with a band on the east side, and consists of three segmental arches with voussoirs and hood moulds. There are triangular cutwaters rising to pilasters, a parapet with flat copings, and round end piers with semi-spherical caps. In the centre of the parapet is the inscription "Division of North and West Riding".

Sleningford Watermill

Sleningford Watermill is a historic corn mill near North Stainley, a village in North Yorkshire in England. A watermill at this site on the River Ure was first recorded in the 14th century. The current mill was probably built in 1773, when it was known as Walk Mill. The wooden waterwheel was replaced with an iron wheel in the early 19th century, while the roof was replaced in the 20th century. The mill ceased to operate in the 1950s, and in 1973 was restored to form the centre of a campsite, being extended by two bays to accommodate an information centre, shop and house. The building was grade II listed in 1986. The mill is built of stone, cobbles and brick, with quoins and a pantile roof. There are two storeys and three bays, a two-storey two-bay addition to the right, and a single-story wheelhouse at the rear. On the front are two doorways, the left approached by steps, windows, and a loading door. The waterwheel survives, as does much of the machinery.
