Hexham Bridge
Hexham Bridge carries the A6079 road over the River Tyne at Hexham. The nine arched stone bridge was built in 1793, designed by John Smeaton and Robert Mylne. It replaced an earlier bridge, which was destroyed in the Great Flood of 1771, and was the 5th bridge built here within 30 years of each other. Hexham bridge is Grade II* listed on the National Heritage List for England.
