Corbridge on the Tyne

Corbridge suffered, as did many other settlements in the county, from the border warfare which was particularly prevalent between 1300 and 1700. Raids were commonplace, and it was not unusual for the livestock to be brought into the town at night and a watch placed to guard either end of the street for marauders. A bridge over the Tyne was built in the 13th century, but this original has not survived. The present bridge, an impressive stone structure with seven arches, was erected in 1674

What a super looking bridge ....great light and colours. I like the composition with the branch in the fg ...... the last pylon on the right seems to be tilting a lot .. is the bridge like that or is it just the camera angle :-)
cheers Jeni

A very picturesque old bridge - great sharp details in the fine stonework, lovely with this sky, view of the house and the fresh green .... I like the old branch in the foreground trying to rival the layout of the bridge .
greetings, Adele
