Catterick

Old milepost This milepost, just north of the River Swale bridge was dug out and repainted by Hilary Jones. It is one of the first generation of castings by Mattison's of Bedale made for the Highway Districts which set up posts before the County Councils. The hands were cast pointing the wrong way. New hands were fastened over the old ones or they were just painted indicating correctly. The hand to Piercebridge, current spelling, should point to the left. There is part of a broken replacement hand on the Catterick face. This is the only known survivor on this route with Piercebridge in Co. Durham just over the border which is the River Tees.

Catterick Bridge The River Swale at Catterick Bridge with a little bit of extra water in it. Swale Bridge was built in 1915, as part of the Catterick Camp Military Railway, initially carrying a 2ft gauge construction line from the Richmond branch westwards to Catterick Camp. It was converted to standard gauge in 1916, and was run by the military until 1923 when it was handed over to the LNER. Passenger services to the Camp ended on 26th Oct 1964, freight continued for another 5 years. But by Oct 1970 the branch had been dismantled, and has left little trace of its existence except for the girder bridge over the Swale.

Road and former railway bridge over the A1 The A6136 road crosses the A1 just west of Catterick Bridge. The former railway bridge carried the Catterick Military Railway (closed 1970), and must have seen but a few years service after the A1 bypass was constructed.
