TYNE (The South), a river of Cumberland and Northumberland; rising on the mountains to the E of Crossfell; running about 19 miles north-north-westward and northward, past Alston and Lambley, to Haltwhistle; and going thence about 14 miles eastward, past Bardon-Mill and Haydon-Bridge, to a confluence with the North Tyne, 1 mile WNW of Hexham. It receives the Allen near Ridley Hall; and it is followed by the Alston railway from Alston to Haltwhistle, and by the Newcastle and Carlisle railway onward from Haltwhistle.
