Aqueduct from Old Derwent Bridge
"On the east side [of Old Swalwell Bridge] is an aqueduct in stone and with lattice girders carrying a cast iron/steel water pipe fed from Benwell reservoir carrying water to a pumping station in Gateshead which supplies that town. This somewhat spoils the appearance of the bridge when viewed from upstream to the west but sand blasting and re-painting in 2015 have improved the appearance."

The 30" water main of the pipe bridge was laid in 1897 by the Newcastle & Gateshead Water Company.

Road bridge over former railway path near Swalwell Bridge
The Swalwell or New Derwent Bridge dates from 1927. It carries the B6317 (Hexham Road) over the River Derwent.
"Underneath the bridge, on the north side, once ran the old 'Main Way', the railway carrying coal and coke to the staiths at Derwenthaugh, and the bridge was built with a sufficient span to accommodate this railway which closed in 1985 and is now a footpath and cycle track."
