| Information | |
Chollerford Bridge is a Georgian stone bridge across the River North Tyne at Chollerford in Northumberland. It replaced an earlier mediæval bridge crossing the river at this point and spans the river on five graceful stone arches. The bridge is a Grade II listed structure.[1]
The bridge was built in 1785 by Robert Mylne after the previous bridge had been swept away in the great floods of 1771.
Hadrian's Wall crossed the river to Chesters fort on the multi-arched Chesters Bridge about 750 yards to the south-west.
