Yarm
Yarm is a small town in North Yorkshire, England. The community 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 up until the opening, in 1995, of the Tees Barrage, which currently manages river circulation above 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 As the last bridge on the river prior to the sea, it was superseded by a new toll bridge opened up in Stockton in 1771.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 oldest part of the town, around the High Street, is positioned in a loophole of the river, as well as the newer parts of the community encompass the point where the River Leven satisfies the River Tees. The town is controlled as part of the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees.
