Known as Young's Bridge just south of Beaumur Laurel Farm, it crosses a confluence of drainage channels south of the River Blyth. A wooden structure, it spanned 40 feet (12 metres) supported on two concrete abutments. No trace of the original bridge remains, as it was blown up by the Home Guard in WWII while practising their demolition skills.
