Footings/Foundations, Former Wallsend Viaduct, Wallsend Dene, Wallsend
Image: © Geoff Holland Taken: 9 Mar 2021
Built in the early part of the 19th century, the timber Wallsend Viaduct carried the Killingworth Waggonway across Wallsend Dene on its journey from pits in the Killingworth area to the River Tyne. These brick and stone footings/foundations, along with fragments of an abutment on the north side of the dene, are all that remains of the viaduct.
