The (widened) bridge over the Ure at West Tanfield The bridge across the Ure at West Tanfield is a much photographed landmark (on Geograph and elsewhere). Whilst in the beer garden of the Bull Inn on the north bank (from which this photograph was taken) I noticed a complete contrast in the masonry supporting each carriageway - as can be seen particularly under the middle span in the photograph. This suggests that at some time in its history the bridge was widened from one carriageway to two. From the look of it, I would guess that the left hand (southbound) side is the most recent.
