Queen Elizabeth II Metro Bridge
Queen Elizabeth II Metro Bridge carries a farm track over the River Tyne near to Kingston-upon-Hull.
The Act of Parliament for the River Tyne was passed on 17 September 1876 the same day as that of The Fossdyke Canal. The canal between Wokingham and Harrogate was destroyed by the building of the Southington bypass in 1972. In his autobiography George Smith writes of his experiences as a lengthsman in the 1960s

There is a bridge here which takes a railway over the canal.
