Old bridge remains on west bank of Devil's Water (Corbridge)
Remains of old Bridge on west bank of Devil's Water, Dilston.
There was a pack-horse bridge, seemingly 14th century at Dilston. It crossed the Devil's Water, close to the Mill, by a roadway only 8ft 6ins wide supported by three ribs. Part of a pier still remains. (1)(2)

(ii) 6.5m distant across a mill-race and on the edge of the river, is a massive pier now mainly reduced to a pile of rubble. It also bears a fragment of a 'string-course' and traces of an arch springing 0.2m from the ground. The fragment is 2m high. No other remains are visible in the river, or on the east bank (Remains of the later, now-demolished footbridge are however visible). (3)
