Lion Bridge is a Grade II* listed stone bridge crossing the River Tyne near Corbridge in Northumberland, constructed in the eighteenth century as part of the regional transport network. The bridge is distinguished by its decorative stone lions positioned at each end, which serve as distinctive architectural ornaments and have given the structure its enduring local name. Built of coursed stone in a sturdy Georgian style, it represents the practical engineering approaches typical of bridge construction during the period of improved road infrastructure in northern England. The bridge remains an important historical monument documenting both the development of Northumberland's transport links and the regional architectural traditions of the period.
