Information

Girsby Bridge is a footbridge bridge which crosses the River Tees, from County Durham on the north bank to the North Riding of Yorkshire on the south, by the Yorkshire village of Girsby.

The bridge was provided by Theophania Blackett, widow of Sir William, of Sockburn Hall across the river to give access to the church. She was then granted exclusive use of the then existing nearby bridge at Sockburn.
