If you want to view Victorian architecture at its best head to Ouseburn and view The Byker Bridge.
This viaduct style bridge carries the long road A193 over the River Ouseburn ,constructed in 1878 as a pedestrianised bridge originally, widened in 1899 its an absolutely stunning piece of architecture, the massive arches look amazing.
We were in this area of Newcastle visiting The Ship Inn underneath the arches and Arch 2 Brewery built into the massive spans,we couldn't help but admire the wonderful looking bridge, its most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area and easy to locate along Stepney Bank in Ouseburn.
