One of the oldest of the surviving medieval bridges in Britain is Old Elvet Bridge over the river Wear in Durham, England. Construction was commenced in 1160 by Bishop Pudsey. The bridge has been widened and repaired over the years enabling it to carry modern traffic. This photo appears in "Bridging the World" by Robert Cortright. Bridge Ink www.bridgeink.com
