Fishing boats tied to the quay are frame by the Construction of Tyne Bridge in early 1928
The years of 1927 and 1928 were very special on Tyneside. Not only was the famous arched Tyne Bridge opened, pictured here under construction, but also the world-renowned Newcastle Brown Ale was launched. And not least Newcastle United lifted the Football League championship

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early months of 1928, a time when Tyneside was buzzing with excitement and progress. The image beautifully captures the juxtaposition of two significant events that shaped the region's history. In the foreground, we see a cluster of fishing boats gently swaying in sync with the rhythm of the River Tyne. These vessels, tied securely to the quay, symbolize an age-old tradition deeply rooted in Tyneside's maritime heritage. They stand as a testament to generations of hardworking fishermen who braved treacherous waters to provide for their communities. However, it is impossible not to be drawn towards the magnificent construction taking place in the background - none other than our beloved Tyne Bridge being meticulously pieced together. This iconic arched structure would soon become an emblematic landmark synonymous with Newcastle upon Tyne. The years leading up to this moment were truly remarkable for Tynesiders. Not only did they witness their cityscape transform before their eyes but also celebrated other notable achievements. In 1927 and 1928 alone, Newcastle Brown Ale was introduced to thirsty patrons worldwide while Newcastle United proudly lifted the Football League championship trophy. This photograph encapsulates an era defined by ambition, resilience, and triumphs across various domains – from bridges and beer brewing to football glory and bustling shipping activities on these very waters. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of how far we have come while honoring those who laid down foundations for our vibrant present-day community on
