Elvet Bridge
Looking north along the River Wear from Kingsbridge towards Elvet Bridge. The Grade 1 listed, 10 arched, Elvet Bridge was originally built in 1160 but has undergone extensive repairs since, at the end of the 15th.C and the beginning of the 17th.C. It again, in 1771, needed repair after flood damage.

Old and new Elvets, Durham
Looking from Elvet Bridge into the western end of Old Elvet; New Elvet, barely discernible in this zoomed shot, crosses left to right in the lower portion of the picture.
The name Elvet is recorded as Aelfetee in circa 800 AD and in the 12th century as Aeluete and Eluete. It is thought to be Old English in origin, meaning "swan stream" or "swan island". The Swan and Three Cygnets pub, the building on the far left here, thus reflects the historical name of this part of the city.

Buildings at east end of Elvet Bridge
There's something almost Dickensian about the nature and random appearance of these buildings at the edge of Durham city centre - perhaps the image should have been converted to monochrome and rendered as a sepia photograph!
