Tyninghame Bridge

Tyninghame Bridge carries the A198 across the River Tyne a little to the south of the village of the same name. The bridge is a stone arch bridge with a single large arch spanning the river, and two smaller flood arches, one on either bank, one of which is now used by a footpath. It is unusually late for a stone structure, as most were built of concrete by this time, with stone facings. The bridge was built in 1931, and according to the datestone replaced an old, narrow structure dating back to 1800. The arch ring is of ashlar stone, the rest of the structure is faced in coursed rubble, all of red sandstone, with a string course roughly at road level. The parapets curve out slightly at each corner and terminate with small piers. The bridge carries a wide S2 carriageway with pavements on both sides, although these have become almost completely overgrown with grass.
