Description
Stamford Bridge is a stone arch crossing that spans the River Derwent and links both sides of the village. The structure features robust masonry with traditional arched design supporting both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
History
The crossing was built in 1727 to facilitate transport across the river. It stands near the site of a major 1066 battle where King Harold II faced Norwegian forces.

The bridge represents Yorkshire engineering heritage, receiving Grade II listed status for its architectural and historical contributions to the regional infrastructure.
