More about this scene
This photograph was taken from the old footbridge, of which only the central pier and abutments remain; the cast iron section was added in 1869. The building in the centre of the picture with the bellcote is The Chantry; it is thought to have been founded by Robert of Morpeth around 1296. The Chantry was partially remodelled in the 1730s and underwent a sympathetic restoration in 1980. Over on the right is the Telford Bridge of 1829-31 designed by John Dobson.
