Wylam

Travel Guide

The oldest railway bridge in Wylam, a model for the later Tyne Bridge in nearby Newcastle and the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia.
Points Bridge at Hagg Bank, near to Wylam, Northumberland, Great Britain. Hagg Bank Bridge (known locally as Points Bridge) is an early example of an arch suspension bridge. It was built in 1876 by the Scotswood, Newburn & Wylam Railway Company. The bridge allowed trains to cross the river from North Wylam Station to join the Newcastle to Carlisle line at West Wylam Junction. The Tyne bridge in Newcastle (1928) and the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia (1932) followed with similar designs.
Arable field north of Stephenson's Cottage. The back of Stephenson's Cottage 5428 is in the centre of the image with the trees behind lining the River Tyne. In the distance snow can be seen on the hills south of Wylam.
Holeyn Hall, Wylam Built in 1851 with additions made in 1858 by John Dobson although now subdivided into two houses. Holeyn Hall was the home of Sir Charles Parsons, a British engineer and inventor of the steam turbine, used in electricity generating stations, and later applied to marine propulsion. The landscaped grounds include a walled kitchen garden, a terraced walk with steps to the lawn below, and a plantation of pine trees.
