This photograph captures a significant moment on September 5th, 1979, as these dedicated professionals oversee the construction of Tyne and Wear Metro - an iconic public transport system that revolutionized travel in the region. The image showcases the collaborative efforts between Mowlem and Mott Hay and Anderson to bring this ambitious project to life. Peter South's expertise as a sub agent for Mowlem combined with Neville Harrison's knowledge as a consulting engineer played instrumental roles in ensuring the successful completion of this underground rail network.

The dedication displayed by these individuals is evident through their expressions of pride and satisfaction.
