When the first Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area was published in 1866 there was no footbridge crossing of the River Wansbeck at this point. However, by the time of the publication of the second edition of the map in 1898, a footbridge had been built here. The bridge is now part of a designated public footpath.
