The modern road bridge over the River Don was opened by HRH The Princess Royal [Princess Mary, Countess of Harewood] on 27th November 1959. It replaced an earlier one of 1782, also called Mill Bridge; before that there was a medieval bridge with a chantry chapel dedicated to St Mary, hence the name.
