EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of Newcastle-upon-Tyne as the Tyne Bridge begins to emerge from the Newcastle side on 28th April 1927. The Tyne Bridge, an iconic symbol of the city and a vital link between Newcastle and Gateshead, was under construction at the time, and this image provides a unique glimpse into the progress made during the early stages of its build. The arch of the bridge, with its distinctive wrought-iron and steel design, stands proudly against the backdrop of the River Tyne and the River Wear. The streets in the foreground are filled with onlookers, eager to witness the latest development in their city. The bridge's gates, still closed, hint at the grandeur and scale of the structure yet to come. The Tyne Bridge was a groundbreaking engineering feat for its time, with a span of 1,050 feet, making it the longest bridge of its kind in the world when it was completed in 1928. Its construction marked a new era of connectivity and growth for Newcastle and Gateshead, bringing people and commerce closer together. This photograph is a testament to the progress and determination of the people involved in its construction. It is a reminder of the historical significance of the Tyne Bridge and its enduring impact on the city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
