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 flow up the River Tees until the opening, in 1995, of the Tees Barrage, which currently regulates river flow 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 As the last bridge on the river prior to the sea, it was superseded by a new toll bridge opened up in Stockton in 1771.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 town, around the High Street, is located in a loop of the river, and also the more recent parts of the town reach the factor where the River Leven fulfills the River Tees. The community is governed as part of the District of Stockton-on-Tees.
