Yarm is a small town and civil parish in the borough of Stockton-on-Tees in North East England. It is on the south bank of the River Tees and for ceremonial purposes is in North Yorkshire. The bridge at Yarm marked the farthest upstream crossing point of tidal section of the River Tees until the Tees Barrage, which was opened in 1995 in Stockton, made that section no longer tidal. As the lowest down stream bridge Yarm bridge was superseded by the five stone arch toll bridge opened in Stockton on Tees in 1771 and the Middlesbrough Transporter bridge opened in 1911. The oldest part of the town around High Street is situated in a loop of the river and the newer parts of the town extend to the point where the River Leven meets the River Tees.
