EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Newcastle upon Tyne's iconic New Tyne Bridge, as it stood in the early 1930s. The bridge, graced by the presence of King George V during its opening on 10th October 1928, is the star of the scene. The elegant suspension bridge, with its distinctive arches, stretches majestically over the River Tyne, connecting the cities of Newcastle and Gateshead. In the foreground, the swing bridge can be seen, its massive iron arms poised to allow the passage of ships. A steamship, puffs out plumes of smoke as it sails beneath the bridge, adding a sense of industry and activity to the scene. The Ibex Steam Ferry, with its distinctive red funnel, is docked to the left, its chairs and tables arranged invitingly for passengers. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, when the New Tyne Bridge was a marvel of engineering and a symbol of progress. The blend of the modern bridge with the traditional steam ferry and swing bridge creates a striking contrast, highlighting the evolution of transportation in the region. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and enduring charm of Newcastle upon Tyne and its iconic landmarks.
