Catterick Bridge is a hamlet in the North Riding of Yorkshire about a mile north of Catterick, at the south end of Catterick road bridge.
The hamlet includes Catterick Racecourse and a few houses. The Sunday market, held at the racecourse, was once the largest of its kind in Northern England.[1] After declining fortunes, the market closed in 2016.[2][3]
The former Bridge House Hotel currently stands derelict after a fire destroyed a vast majority of the Grade-II listed building[4] in 2014. There had been a coaching inn at this site since at least the 16th century.[5] After several attempts to auction the property, it was removed from the market in October 2020 due to lack of interest.[6]
Charles Macintosh, the inventor of the Mackintosh raincoat, Sir John Beresford, 1st Baronet and William Beresford, 1st Viscount Beresford were educated at Catterick Bridge.[7][8]
