EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Tyne Bridge under construction in Newcastle, England. Taken in October 1927, a year before its official opening, the image showcases the impressive progress made on the bridge's approaches. The photograph also provides a glimpse of two other notable bridges in the area. One prominent feature is Robert Stephenson's innovative High Level Bridge, which was completed in 1849. Its elegant design and engineering marvel are evident even from this aerial perspective. Another bridge visible is the Swing Bridge, funded by Armstrong and built in 1876 to replace an obstructive stone bridge that impeded river traffic. The historic significance of this photo lies not only in capturing a pivotal moment during the construction of one of Britain's most recognizable landmarks but also showcasing neighboring structures that have played their part in shaping Newcastle's urban landscape. Although time has taken its toll on the original negative resulting in some damage, this remarkable image has been preserved as part of Historic England's Aerofilms Collection. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and architectural prowess while offering viewers a unique glimpse into Newcastle's rich history and development over time.
