It also looks very similar to the structure which used to take the
railway from West Wylam to Scotswood, at Hagg Bank- that dates from the
mid 19th century, I believe. A search for photos of 'Wylam' and 'Peter
Robinson' should throw something up, as he seems to have taken hundreds
there.

A good source for NE structural images is 'Sine':

The railway bridge at Wearmouth, Sunderland also shows as a bowstring. In
fact some research using google reveals that a vast number of arched bridges
are 'bowstring' i.e. the ends are tied. The Tyne Bridge (road) is recorded
as a bowstring arch - modelled on the West Wylam Railway bridge just up the
river...
