What is recorded here
The public map records this plaque for Elvet Bridge.
Elvet Bridge, constructed by Bishop Hugh Puiset in the late 12th century, is a historically significant structure that served as Durham's second river crossing and has been modified over centuries to accommodate growing urban needs. The bridge's preservation of medieval architectural elements, including remnants of St. Andrews Chapel, makes it an important site for understanding the city’s historical development and medieval engineering.
