Description

Hexham Bridge, built in 1793, is the fifth bridge constructed in this location within a 30-year period, as the previous bridges were destroyed by floods. This nine-arched stone bridge was designed by the engineer-architect Robert Mylne. Notable features include blind oculi and four keystones in the spandrels of the arches.
