NZ1162 : The old Stanleyburn Bridge
taken 13 years ago, near to Prudhoe, Northumberland, England
The old Stanleyburn Bridge
The Stanley Burn marks the junction between Gateshead and Northumberland, in its region south of the River Tyne.
A plan of 1766 indicates a bridge crossing the burn at this point approached by a meandering path from Prudhoe. The road was turnpiked in 1777 and the existing bridge was utilised as the crossing point. A new crossing was built to the south in the 1840s and the old bridge was thereafter used as a footpath crossing.
