Elvet Bridge, Durham, from Sadler Street
The Cathedral, Castle and Market Square of Durham are on a high promontory within a loop of the River Wear. Elvet Bridge is the ancient bridge into the city centre from the East. This photo, taken on a rainy morning, looks East from the centre. Traffic has been diverted over a new bridge nearby.
