Description

Eals Bridge, which crosses the South Tyne, is a bridge likely built in the late 18th century. It was altered and widened in 1973. The west arch is made of squared stone, while the central pier and east arch are constructed from rubble. The bridge features segmental arches with arch rings, and the central pier has triangular cutwaters that rise up as pilasters. The parapet has sloped coping and is now set forward from the face of the bridge. There is a tablet on the internal face of the south parapet that displays the date of the widening.
