The Steelworks Bridge was a pedestrian footbridge which ran from Coronation Drive, in Seaton Carew, to Greatham Street on the Longhill Industrial Estate. The old bridge was demolished with the demise of the steelworls and replaced with a shorter, modern one which only crosses the railway line.
Taken in the mid 1980s, the image shows the Steelworks' Bridge on the left and trucks on the complex of train lines between the steelworks and Coronation Drive. Much of the North Works was demolished in 1977.
