Background
History
. It is believed that this would make it the first suspension bridge in Britain, and only the second in Europe, after the first in Saxony was built 7 years earlier. This replacement was financed by the Marquess of Cleveland, and was moved 10 m further downstream from Low Force, with more substantial metal pillars holding the chains to the rock.
