Ulshaw Bridge

[1] A wooden bridge over the Ure near Middleham was recorded by John Leland, although it is not certain whether it was on this site.

[2] Nikolaus Pevsner described the bridge as "an impressive job with three pairs of mighty cutwaters".

[4] The bridge, which carries a minor road, is built of a mixture of carved stone and rubble.

It consists of four segmental arches, one with a chamfered surround, and with rusticated parapets.

There are triangular cutwaters rising to refuges, two with seats, the middle one containing an octagonal sundial base with initials and the date.
