Neasham Hall Bridge

Neasham Hall Bridge is a private single-track road bridge over the River Tees, dated 1909 and built for Sir Thomas Wrightson. The bridge features red sandstone piers and end abutments, with a cast-iron span approximately 100 meters long. It has three wide elliptical arches, with the central arch being the largest. The battered piers have rounded cutwaters and banded rustication, while semi-octagonal upward extensions flank the roadway for stability. The abutments are complemented by square-plan piers on either side of the roadway. The east end piers are inset with two small cast-iron medallions of Sir Thomas Wrightson, and the west end piers feature a pair of iron gates, splayed end walls, and smaller terminating piers. The parapet is constructed with closely spaced cross-braced members that support a heavy handrail. Large cast-iron plaques displaying the monogram TW and the date 1909 are located on the center of the inner faces of the parapet. This bridge spans the parishes of Neasham and Eryholme.
