EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured print takes us back to the year 1835, offering a glimpse into Sunderland's rich history and remarkable engineering feats. The focal point of this image is the awe-inspiring Iron Bridge across the Tyne at Wearmouth, stretching eastwards as far as the eye can see. This architectural marvel was unveiled on August 9th, 1796, standing proud with its single span measuring an impressive 236 feet (71.9 metres). The bridge itself symbolizes both progress and ingenuity in civil engineering during that era. Its sturdy iron structure stands tall against the backdrop of Northumbria's picturesque landscape, showcasing Britain's mastery in construction and design. As we delve deeper into this print, we are transported to a time when Sunderland thrived as an industrial hub in England. The bridge served not only as a vital transportation link but also as a testament to human achievement and innovation. The hand-colouring technique used adds vibrancy to every detail captured within this historic scene - from the intricate architecture of buildings lining the riverbanks to the flowing waters of River Tyne below. This photograph allows us to appreciate how our ancestors shaped their surroundings through magnificent structures like these bridges - forever leaving their mark on Durham's landscape and reminding us of our shared heritage.
