Corbridge Bridge

Corbridge Bridge is a 17th-century stone bridge across the River Tyne at Corbridge, Northumberland, England, at the point where another structure, eventually a toll bridge, was constructed in the 13th-century. The later, characteristic 7-span structure would be the only bridge on the Tyne to withsta

nd the Great Flood of 1771. As of 2015, it was listed as a Grade I listed building by Historic England. Earlier, the bridge carried the A68 road over the River Tyne, but since the opening of the Hexham bypass (A69), the A68 has crossed via the Styford Bridge, 3 miles (5 km) downstream of Corbridge.
