Newcastle Swing Bridge

The National Heritage List for England records Newcastle Swing Bridge as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Newcastle Swing Bridge was built in the 19th century, with construction completed in 1879, to provide a vital transport link over the River Tyne while allowing large ships to pass through. It is important as a rare surviving example of a swing bridge in England and as a key part of Newcastle's industrial and maritime heritage.
