EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1928, showcasing the awe-inspiring construction of the new Tyne Bridge. In this particular shot, we witness a group of fearless riveters diligently working on the lower boom of this monumental structure. Despite being positioned a staggering 180 feet above the River Tyne, their unwavering determination is evident as they go about their task with utmost focus. The Tyne Bridge itself is an architectural marvel that spans across the river, connecting Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead in North East England. Designed by Hay and Anderson, along with Mott as consulting engineers, it stands tall as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes apparent that these men possess an unyielding spirit in face of great heights. Their fearlessness serves as a reminder of the indomitable human spirit when faced with daunting challenges. This photograph not only captures a significant moment in time but also offers us a glimpse into an era defined by progress and innovation. It symbolizes both the physical connection between two cities and metaphorically represents bridging gaps between communities. Preserved through time by NCJ Archive's Memory Lane Prints collection, this image allows us to appreciate the dedication and skill required to construct such remarkable structures while honoring those who played pivotal roles in shaping our urban landscapes.
