The quality of the engraving perhaps suggests an early date (c1800).  Note the light on the bricks on the underside of the bridge (right detail), and the reflection in the water.  This is a very similar view to Baker's bridge 1, except that the word Sunderland at the end of the first line of the title is in italic script. Also, there is no building on the top of the left side of the bridge.

Below, another example with the inscription George and Isabella Beatty.  Thanks to Norman Lowe for the following information:  George Beatty (a mason, presumably stonemason) and Isabella Archbold had the following children in Chatton Northumberland – William 1811/12, Henry 1817 and six more younger ones through to 1833, but possibly some older ones too. Isabella was born in 1785 so could have been married from 1801 onwards.
