EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1927, showcasing the remarkable construction progress of the new Tyne Bridge. The focus is on the Gateshead erection masts, which play a crucial role in suspending one half of the iconic arch. The image exudes an air of industriousness as workers can be seen diligently toiling away on the superstructure from their vantage point on the Gateshead side. It is evident that steady progress is being made towards completing this monumental feat of engineering. The Tyne Bridge itself holds great significance for both Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead, serving as a vital link between these two North East England towns. Designed by Mott, Hay and Anderson, it stands tall as a through arch bridge over the majestic River Tyne. Transporting us back to a bygone era, this snapshot offers a glimpse into an important chapter in history when structures like bridges were not only functional but also symbols of human ingenuity and ambition. As we admire this photograph from Memory Lane Prints' NCJ Archive collection, let's appreciate how far we have come while honoring those who worked tirelessly to shape our urban landscapes with such magnificent structures.
