Bridge, Corbridge

A bridge dial, which is rather rare. The next nearest is in Berwick. It is a rounded edge circular stone dial, on top of the parapet in the centre of the bridge, and is believed to replace a dial dated 1674. Shows 4am to 8pm hours only. No numerals, just hour lines and there is no gnomon. See W R Iley "Corbridge Border Villages" p 174. The 1674 dial was lucky to survive the flood of 1771 as this bridge was the only Tyne bridge to do so.
