A £200,000 landmark has been reached in the regeneration of the River Tees, at Barnard Castle.
A commemorative stone in a new river wall was laid by Stephen Hughes, MEP for the North, to mark the completion of the project.
Building the river wall was an architectural feat, due to the arduous task of digging deep enough to clear debris and lay the foundations.
Carlbury Developments, who built the wall, worked with Teesdale District Council to improve the access to its Thorngate Court housing development and the River Tees as part of the riverside regeneration.
