EDITORS COMMENTS
The central tower of the Swing Bridge, Newcastle, stands tall and majestic in this vintage print from 1930. Located in Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, this iconic structure has been an integral part of the city's transportation system for over a century. Grade II* listed, the Swing Bridge is a testament to engineering brilliance and architectural beauty. Its motorized mechanism allows it to swing open horizontally to accommodate both pedestrian and road traffic crossing the River Tyne. This vital link connects the north and south banks of Newcastle, facilitating seamless transport for locals and visitors alike. Captured on a sunny day in April 1930 by NCJ Archive, this photograph showcases the grandeur of Armstrong & Co's creation. The intricate details of its design are visible as sunlight illuminates every nook and cranny. As we gaze at this historic image today, we are transported back to a time when steam trains chugged across its tracks while pedestrians strolled along its walkways. It serves as a reminder of how our cities have evolved over time while still preserving their heritage. This Memory Lane Print offers us a glimpse into Newcastle's past – an era where innovation met elegance on the banks of River Tyne.
