Name the bridge?
 
Anyone want to have a stab at this

Built for the Duke of Northumberland in 1862 this bridge was adopted by Northumberland County Council in 1888. In 1951 sheet steel piling had to be driven across two thirds of the down-stream side - the entire bridge had moved three-quarters of an inch from the north side owing to moving foundations. A further drive of sheet steel piles sixteen feet long completed the remaining one third in 1964. A weight limit of nine tons was imposed in 1967.

Interesting one, trying to think of the weight limit bridges when I am out and about, most of the upper Coquet are strengthened for the army, Pauperhaugh and Weetwood - too old, Ingram maybe?

Nope, not Ingram, not the Lion bridge.
