The Chantry Footbridge replaced an older two-arch bridge from the 13th century. An iron footbridge was built on the site in 1869, and it was refurbished in 2004. The bridge connects Bridge Street with Hill Gate on the south side. At the north end of the footbridge is the 13th century All Saints Chantry, which was restored in 1980 and is now a tourist information center, craft center, and museum. Just upstream from the bridge is a weir.

The Telford Bridge replaced an older medieval bridge and connects the two halves of the town. It was designed by John Dobson, although Thomas Telford is often credited due to the inscription on the parapet. Telford chose the location and oversaw the construction. St George's United Reformed Church is located on the north side of the bridge, while the Court House is on the south side.

Bridge, built in 1830, made from squared tooled stone with dressed accents. It features three segmental arches, with the central arch being slightly taller, along with triangular cutwaters, arch rings, and a band below the parapet. The parapet has gently sloped coping, while the approach walls and terminal piers have flat coping and low pyramidal caps. Each parapet's internal face contains a badly worn inscribed panel in a molded surround; the northern panel reads: 'THIS BRIDGE ......... (PU)BLIC SUBSCRIP(TION) .......... 50'. It crosses the river Wansbeck.

Invented by Joseph Webb in the 1890's these gas lamps were used to ventilate the sewers. The flame drew sewer gasses up the column where they were purified before being released. Each lamp could ventilate 1 mile of sewer.
