Sunderland Bridge

:"Not to be confused with Wearmouth Bridge."Sunderland Bridge is a village in County Durham, England, about 3 miles south of Durham City. It lies close to the confluence of the River Wear and River Browney. The village is situated next to a bridge of the same name. The hamlet contained a butcher but it closed roughly 190 years ago and is now a permanent residence. The bridge itself originally carried the Great North Road but when the road became the A1, a new bridge was needed as the existing bridge was not wide enough to cope with traffic, the new bridge was constructed to the east of the exiting bridge and now the road is the A167.Crossings navbox
