EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the iconic Tyne Bridge, viewed from the Riverside in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, soon after its opening in 1928. Designed by Mott, Hay and Anderson and built by Dorman Long and Co., this impressive structure has become a defining symbol of Tyneside.
The image showcases the bridge's high-level span connecting Newcastle and Gateshead, with a steam tugboat passing underneath on the misty river below. The atmospheric fog adds to the charm of this historic scene, transporting viewers back to the bustling quayside of 1920s England.
Officially opened by King George V on October 10th, 1928, the Tyne Bridge has stood as a testament to engineering excellence and architectural beauty for nearly a century. Its elegant design and sturdy construction have made it not just a means of crossing the river but also an emblem of pride for residents of Newcastle.
This photograph is a timeless reminder of the rich history and industrial heritage that define this vibrant region in North East England. It serves as a tribute to those who designed, built, and continue to cherish this magnificent structure that stands as a beacon over the River Tyne.
