Burn Closes Bridge (1913 - 2008)
The original Burn Closes Bridge was a reinforced concrete bridge, built in 1913, carrying St Peter's Road over Willington Dene (the lower part of the valley formed by Wallsend Burn). It was the last surviving example of an early ferro-concrete bridge in Tyne & Wear (had been Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England), until it was demolished in 2008.[1] The replacement Burn Closes Bridge opened in 2009.
