Bridge-Head Tower, Warkworth
The Bridge-Head Tower is a 14th century gate tower at the south end of Warkworth Bridge. It is located on the west side of Bridge Street in Warkworth. The gate passage has rough 4-centred vault. The guard chamber was used as the village lock-up in the 18th century.[1] The gate tower had some restoration and patching in the 19th century. This is a rare surviving example of a fortified gateway on a bridge. The Bridge-Head Tower is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
