Tyne and Wear HER(313): South Gosforth, Salter's Bridge

  • Description

    "A narrow (c. 7 feet) twin-arched bridge across the Ouse Burn. The earliest phase of its construction, represented by the north half of the east arch, is medieval, possibly 14th century. At least three later phases of constructin, plus modern repairs, are also apparent. Salter's Bridge and nearby Salter's Road suggest that this was the route taken by pack horses as they plied their trade from the salt pans on the coast. SCHEDULED ANCIENT MONUMENT AND LISTED GRADE 1"
