As this inscription states, the bridge over the Seaton Burn, over which the old Great North Road passes, was built in 1923. An earlier bridge stood here when the first Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area was published in 1864. The reference to 'Six Mile' relates to the distance from here to Newcastle Upon Tyne.
