Elvet Bridge, City of Durham, County Durham - Stone Bridges on Waymarking.com

The original bridge was constructed in 1160 during the time of Bishop Hugh de Puiset (1153–95). The bridge was repaired extensively under Bishop Fox between 1495-1501, and again in 1601. In 1771 the bridge was badly damaged. Three arches of the bridge were destroyed in a great flood that wrecked most of the bridges on the Wear, Tyne and Tees. In medieval times a number of buildings were situated upon this bridge including two chapels which stood at either end.
