60 RIVERS. 



Castle, and Brignall, and are scattered over many parts of the 

 vales of Cleveland and York, the sides of Eskdale, the cliffs of 

 Scarborough, Flamborough, and Holderness. 



Proceeding in a course continually growing more rocky, 

 woody, and romantic, the river passes Rutherford Bridge, Scar- 

 gill, Brignall, and Greta Bridge to llokeby Park and Mortham 

 Tower, below which it joins the Tees. 



At Greta Bridge, on a tongue of land between the Greta and 

 Tutta Beck, is a small but well-known Roman camp not named 

 in the Itinerary of Antoninus, though it is on the line of the 

 great north-western military road. Maclauchlan has lately sur- 

 veyed it (see Plans of Camps). 



Below the junction of the Greta the Tees changes its course, 

 as if it had adopted the channel of the smaller stream, and runs 

 N.E. by the old camp at Howbury to beyond Winston Bridge, 

 where the water from Staindrop comes in. Had it continued in 

 what seems to be the natural and easy course to the S.E., it 

 would have passed by the line of the Gilling Valley, and have 

 entered the Swale near Brompton. Near Winston it turns again 

 to the S.E., as if under the influence of the Staindrop stream, and 

 so passes Pierse Bridge, where the Roman road crossed it (from 

 Cataractonium to Vinovia and Bremenium) and a square camp re- 

 mains. An altar inscribed to Condatus, and other circumstances, 

 indicate this to have been a station of importance, but its name 

 is not certainly known. Below this point the Tees acquires the 

 great sinuosities usual in rivers where they enter low ground and 

 meet the tide, and with this character it passes by the sulphu- 

 reted mineral spring of Croft, the equally sulphureted water 

 discovered by deep boring at Middleton, and the towns of Yarm 

 and Stockton, and expands into the German Ocean at the rising 

 port of Middlesborough. 



The Leven, a stream of some importance, enters the Tees at 

 Yarm. It flows from the highest region of the north-eastern 

 moorlands, and has many branches. 



On Barnaby Moor, or Eston Nab, a few miles east of Stockton,
