More about this scene

Situated six miles west of Darlington, Piercebridge is unusual in that the village was built within the ramparts of a Roman fort that once guarded the bridge over the Tees carrying the road between York and Hadrian's Wall. On the right is the village police house; its high pointed wooden porch looks more like Welsh architecture than that of the north-east of England.
