Yarm
Yarm is a town in North Yorkshire, England. The town is on the south bank of the River Tees and also is traditionally part of the North Riding of Yorkshire. The bridge at Yarm marked the furthest reach of tidal circulation up the River Tees until the opening, in 1995, of the Tees Battery, which now regulates river circulation over Stockton. As the last bridge on the river prior to the sea, it was superseded by a new toll bridge opened up in Stockton in 1771. The earliest part of the community, around the High Street, is located in a loophole of the river, and also the newer parts of the community include the point where the River Leven satisfies the River Tees. The community is regulated as part of the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees.
