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.

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.

This little road runs alongside the River Derwent. The river is on the left behind the wall, but at the bottom of a gorge, so not visible from here. Viewed in early spring.
