Barnard Castle and Bridge, from downstream by Joseph Mallord William Turner, 1797
Pencil, 230 x 270mm (9" x 10.6"), North of England sketchbook
from the book Turner in the North p 49
The photo below of the same castle (built 1093) and bridge from a similar view is from Turner in the North page 48 :
Some of the differences between the drawing and the photo is due to them being created 200 years apart.
One detail I would call attention to is the "x" on the buildings on the lower right probably as a little shortcut to note shadowed areas for future reference.
