Prebends Bridge, Durham and Framwellgate - County Durham (UA)
Bridge over the River Wear designed in 1772-8 by George Nicholson for the Dean and Chapter of Durham Cathedral. A programme of remedial works, part-funded by Historic England, was completed in 2011-12. The condition of the balustrade was investigated in 2019 to inform a future repair strategy. In addition, there are some areas of concern in the lower parts of the eastern arches which are currently being assessed.
