Lambley Footbridge is a wooden bridge across the River South Tyne at Lambley in Northumberland.

History

[edit]

The present wooden structure replaces an old derelict footbridge which was attached to the viaduct above, but was no longer maintained after British Rail closed the Alston line.[1] The new footbridge was completed in 1992.[2]
