Descriptive gazetteer entries

In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Winch Bridge like this:

Winch Bridge, suspension bridge across the river Tees, North-Riding Yorkshire, 4 miles NW. of Middleton in Teesdale; is said to be the earliest suspension bridge in Europe; the Tees rushes through a rocky gorge here with great force.
