Description
This single lane road bridge was built in the mid-19th century to cross the new Tynemouth North Pier Railway (HER2049). It was constructed from roughly dressed sandstone blocks and rubble, with a steel deck (possibly a replacement), with simple square abutments to the north and south and wing walls extending into the railway cutting. It is first shown on the Ordnance Survey 1:10560 map of 1865.
