Bridge over the 'Forest Hall' Letch near Killingworth Village
The Letch flows in two separate strands, the 'Longbenton' Letch and the 'Forest Hall' Letch. In 2016 a £6 million scheme to alleviate flooding in North Tyneside was carried out which involved water, flowing into the sewer network from Killingworth Lake and the 'Longbenton' Letch, being diverted to the 'Forest Hall' Letch via a new 700 metre long underground surface water pipe. This bridge carries a public footpath, which links Killingworth Village with Great Lime Road, over the 'Forest Hall' Letch. The word 'Letch' means, "a stream or pool in boggy land" and its use in this area is rare (see Sandy's Letch near Burradon House Link.
