Haltwhistle Tyne Bridge

Haltwhistle Tyne Bridge is a road bridge, now for pedestrians only, that spans the River South Tyne. It was built in 1875, designed by G.G. Page, and constructed by Stansfield and Son, as noted on the inscription on the inner west face of the north end abutment. The bridge features wrought-iron arches and a cast-iron parapet, with brick piers and dressed stone end abutments. It has three wide and low segmental arches that include cross-bracing in the spandrels. The arches are supported by rock-faced end abutments and two pairs of tapering cylindrical piers. Above the piers, there are semi-octagonal stone stages that flank the roadway. The bridge also has rising curved parapets adorned with pierced quatrefoils and moulded handrails.
