EDITORS COMMENTS
Armstrong Gun Works in Newcastle Docks (1915)
During World War I, Britain's shipbuilding industry played a crucial role in supporting the war effort. This photograph, taken by George Grantham Bain of the Bain News Service in 1915, captures the Armstrong gun works on the River Tyne at Newcastle upon Tyne. The image shows rows of industrial buildings and cranes along the dockside, with steamships moored alongside.
The Armstrong Whitworth company was a major manufacturer of war materials during this period, producing guns, shells, and other equipment for use by British forces. This photograph provides a glimpse into the busy docks area where goods were being manufactured and transported to support Britain's military efforts on the front lines.
Taken in black and white, the image has a timeless quality that evokes both nostalgia and historical significance. It is a testament to the important role played by Newcastle upon Tyne as an industrial hub during World War I.
