Flower Delivery to Piercebridge with Clare Florist
The village of Piercebridge is a civil parish located in County Durham, England. According to a 2011 census, the population of Piercebridge was only 113 people at the time. Piercebridge is located just a few miles away from Darlington, which is a town that was built on what used to be a Roman fort. Some of this fort still exists underneath the grasslands and greens of Piercebridge. In fact, this Roman fort has been excavated and can now be viewed by tourists and locals. The most notable site is the ruins of the Piercebridge Roman Bridge which used to carry the ancient Romans over the River Tees.
The village name “Piercebridge” comes from the name of its bridge. The first recording of the village’s name was in the year 1050 when the bridge was partially comprised of osier twigs. After all, the word “pierce” is derived from the word “pershe,” which means “osiers.” When the ancient Romans built their fort on this land around 200 A.D., they were trying to prevent the ancient Celtic tribe known as the “Brigantes” from crossing the bridge. Once the Romans left their fort somewhere around 410 A.D., no major civilization seemed to settle there. Some historians believe a few Brigante descendants stayed at the fort. The next recorded activity in Piercebridge was in 1546 when a chapel was built.
By the time 1887 came around, Piercebridge was made up of 973 acres of land and had 206 people living there. It also had a post office and railway station too. However, the village ended up losing its railway station which caused fewer people to travel there. The old Roman bridge that had been there was washed away by a flood in 1771. A new bridge was built to replace it in 1789 but some of the old bridge’s remains have been kept on land for tourists to view.
If you were to travel to Piercebridge today, you’ll see a lot of Victorian and Georgian-style cottages. But you’ll certainly get a feel for the history of the land once you step on it.
