Description: | With the spread of the railways in the early 1800s came the idea of a railway crossing over the Tyne. Several proposals for railway bridges were made. In 1845 Newcastle Council decided on a scheme which would link Newcastle to the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway. The railway entered Newcastle via the High Level Bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson. It was a 2-tier bridge with a railway deck running above a road for pedestrians and vehicles.
