We think we’ve discovered the foundation stone of an old 1800 bridge that crossed the Newcastle to South Shields train line. We had been told about the bridge historically leading to a farm (Lake House Farm), Jarrow. Unfortunately, the bridge was knocked down in the 1960s to make way for a road during the building of the Tyne tunnel.
