Rocky section of the Derwent at Shotley Grove
The river flows swiftly through a narrow gorge here. The revetments on the far bank must date from the 19th century when there was a lot of industry here.

Old culvert in the river bank
On the River Derwent at Shotley Grove. This may have been the exit for a mill race. Although a tranquil scene now, in the 18th & 19th centuries this area was a hive of industry.

Arch Under the Shotley Grove Road
I'm not sure what this is. Seen from across the River Derwent. It's not a bridge there being nothing comparable on the other side of the road. The river bank has been well constructed retaining wall at this point too. Presumably to protect the road from being undermined by river erosion.
