Rotherham's 15th Century chantry bridge from above.

People often don't realise that the original position of the river has now been moved by development such that the chantry now sits high and dry and water no longer regularly runs under the arches of it's medieval bridge.

Rotherham is often the butt of many jokes, but actually it's got some amazing medieval architecture.

My website tells me a year ago I hung a hydrophone off Chantry Bridge in Wakefield and recorded the underwater sounds.

Probably best not listening to this if you need a wee.
