EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Tyne Bridges, Newcastle upon Tyne," showcases a breathtaking view of the iconic Tyne Bridges in Newcastle, England, as captured by the skilled lens of Eric de Mare in 1955. The image, now preserved by Historic England, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the timeless beauty of the area's industrial heritage. At the heart of the scene lies the Tyne Bridge, an engineering marvel that opened in 1928 and was graced by the presence of King George V during its inauguration. Its distinctive steel arches, painted in red and white, span the River Tyne, connecting Newcastle and Gateshead. In the background, two additional bridges stand proudly: the Swing Bridge and the High Level Bridge. The Swing Bridge, designed by the ingenious William Armstrong, is a bascule bridge that can be rotated to allow the passage of ships. The High Level Bridge, designed by the legendary Robert Stephenson, is a railway bridge that was a groundbreaking achievement in its time, standing at a height of 100 feet above the river. The photograph, taken from Newcastle Quayside, invites us to imagine the bustling activity that once surrounded these structures. The hustle and bustle of ships passing under the bridges, the clamor of industry, and the vibrant energy of the city all come to life through Eric de Mare's masterful composition. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Newcastle's industrial past and the engineering prowess that shaped its skyline. It serves as a reminder of the rich history that lies within the Tyne Bridges and the stories they hold, waiting to be discovered by future generations.
