Alston Bridge over the South Tyne


This bridge over the River South Tyne is located on the south-western outskirts of Alston. It carries the A685 road and is also on the Pennine Way. A previous bridge here was destroyed in the Great Flood of 1771. The present bridge, with two arches, appears to have been rebuilt in the 19th century.[1]
