Sunderland Bridge (bridge)


This stone bridge across the River Wear near the village of Sunderland Bridge, Croxdale, dates from the 14th Century. The bridge has undergone several modifications, with the end arches rebuilt in 1770 and the parapets widened in 1822.[1] It is Grade 1 listed on the National Heritage List for England. The bridge originally carried the Great North Road (A1), until the growing volume of traffic led to rerouting of the A1 and the building of Croxdale Bridge to the east.
