| Corbridge,
on the River Tyne with a 17th century bridge, this is a small
market town with an attractive main street. The Market place
has a cast-iron cross.
King Ethelred met his end here in AD796. Lots of battles
here until 1349 when the Black Death plague wiped out most
of the population, there are no battles now though, except
with tourist coaches.
