Allensford Bridge and weir
Allensford Bridge and weir
The current bridge is of concrete and iron and replaced previous bridges here, including a stone arch humpback bridge of 1816. It is on the A68 road from Darlington to Dalkeith near Edinburgh and on each side of the bridge the road climbs steeply away from the Derwent. The previous bridge was a narrow two-arched structure in danger of collapsing and was replaced in 1925.
