In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Greta Bridge like this:
GRETA BRIDGE, a hamlet in Brignall, Rokeby, and Wycliffe parishes, N. R. Yorkshire; on Greta stream and Watling street, 3¼ miles SE of Barnard Castle. It has a post office under Darlington, and an inn. A Roman camp, very distinctly marked, is in a field adjacent to the inn; is noticed by Sir Walter Scott, in " Rokeby; " and has yielded Roman coins and an altar.
