Stamford Bridge
Stamford Bridge
Arched stone road bridge over the River Derwent, completed in 1727 by the East Riding County Council to designs by William Etty of York. An earlier medieval bridge had crossed the river some 150 yards upstream, and before that there was an apparently narrow wooden bridge somewhere nearby which was mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, in the description of the famous battle of 1066 when King Harold defeated Earl Tostig and Harold Hardrada before getting one in the eye at Hastings.
