Old Tyne Bridge is a medieval bridge crossing the River Tyne at Corbridge in Northumberland, dating from the 12th or 13th century. The surviving remains consist of two substantial stone arches that demonstrate the engineering techniques of the period, constructed from dressed stone with pointed arch construction characteristic of medieval bridge building. The bridge served as a crucial crossing point on a major routeway and represents an important example of medieval infrastructure in northern England. The site's location at Corbridge, a significant Roman settlement and later medieval town, underscores its strategic importance in the region's transport networks.
