Description
Jarrow Bridge, over the estuary of Bede's Burn, between Jarrow and East Jarrow {1}. Hutchinson's "History of Durham" published in 1787 states that "the passage from Jarrow monastery to the opposite shore is formed by a raised causeway and a bridge over the rivulet, which considering the haven to have been neglected for many ages, is yet a formidable work". In the "Records of Jarrow" mention is made of a meeting which took place on Jarrow Bridge in relation to the opening of Jarrow Colliery by Temple on September 26th 1803. Surtees "History of Durham" in 1820 makes reference to "a narrow bridge over the little water of Done". The listed building description states that the bridge was repaired by William Allison, mason in 1781-3 and widened for the turnpike in 1826. The date of repair coincides with repair work carried out on the church in 1782. The road does not look like a turnpike road on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1856. On the second edition of 1898the road from the bridge to East Jarrow is still referred to as "The Causeway". The origins of the bridge seem therefore to lie, at the latest, in the mid 18th century, and may date from the period of industrial development of the Slake which began in 1697. Hutchinson's description seems to suggest that it predates the 1780s. The bridge was bypassed by the construction of a new road bridge to the west prior to 1938. Honey coloured sandstone bridge with a single arch. The upper surface has setts arranged with two drainage channels. The east face has a projecting string course below the parapet. On both sides there is a pilaster on either side of the arch. The arch has a good hood mould. The bridge has been substantially rebuilt and it may be that the eastern side is the oldest, with the bridge widened to the west in the early 19th century. The bridge was restored in 1999.
SITEASS
Renovated using Heritage Lottery Money. The hard cement mortars were removed and replaced with soft lime mortars. Areas below high water mark were pointed with a waterproof grout. A new cobble wearing course was laid. A stout stone pillar was retrieved from the riverbed and reinstated on the approach wall, and formed a model for a new pillar to replace the missing one from the other wall. Any ground disturbance in the vicinity of the bridge should be archaeologically monitored because there could be evidence relating to Roman, Saxon or Early Medieval river crossings in the vicinity. Pevsner - on the site of a crossing dating from the church's foundation, the small stone one-arched bridge, ruinous in 1774, repaired in 1781 by W.M. Allison, widened in 1805 by Chris Ebdon. Identified as At Risk during Grade II Historic England Testing the National Framework Project 2015. Priority C - Slow Decay; no solution agreed

Description
Jarrow Ballast Hills. Levelled/removed by 1895 as the 2nd edition OS maps show several industrial sites including a dry dock occupying the area covered by this feature. Many ships coming to the Tyne to load coal entered the river 'light' or 'in ballast'. This means that no cargo was being carried. In the absence of cargo, the ballast gives the vessel stability. Ships returning from London coal voyages often carried shingle or chalk as ballast. Sand and other materials were also used. Over the centuries, great hills of ballast grew along both banks of the Tyne. There were substantial ballast hills near Bill Point Walker, Willington Quay, Hebburn, Jarrow and North and South Shields. Ships were charged fees to unload their ballast. By the early 1820s this was about 20p per ton. To avoid the fee some masters resorted to the dangerous act of discharging ballast before entering harbour. One estimate suggests that some 20% of all imported ballast ended up in the river, risking the Tyne silting up.
