The railway bridge on the Wansbeck River is a notable structure, situated about a mile from the river mouth. It was originally part of the Blyth and Tyne railway, connecting Tyneside to Ashington. While it used to extend further to the Lynemouth power station, the line is now inactive due to the station's conversion. The current bridge, constructed in 1926 (or possibly 1927/1929), replaced an earlier wooden trestle bridge. With its striking appearance and dark colour, it has earned the nickname "Black Bridge." The bridge stands out when viewed from the footpaths nearby, adding a distinctive feature to the landscape.
