Information

Low Hail Bridge is a privately built, Victorian farm bridge which crosses the River Tees, from County Durham on the north bank to the North Riding of Yorkshire on the south. It serves Low Hail Farm (on the Yorkshire bank), joining it to Hurworth-on-Tees, County Durham.

The bridge is of wrought iron and was built in 1870 by Robert Robinson of Darlington, the cost borne by Lord Rokeby on the Yorkshire side and the ratepayers of Hurworth.
