Wynch Bridge

. 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.

{{Quote box |quote = To persons accustomed to it, it is a very safe passage, but to strangers it is tremendous. At every step, the chains and their superstructure yield and spring, and there is no safeguard for the passenger but a small hand rail, which if leaned against gives the bridge a swinging motion, whilst beneath you yawns a black and horrid chasm, 60ft in depth, where the torrent rushes with a mighty noise amongst broken rocks. |author = William Hutchinson |source = 1776
