Tyneside 121022 4821
Views of and from the road deck of the High Level Bridge across the River Tyne between Gateshead and Newcastle. 12 November 2022 as the light fades at the end of a virtually cloudless afternoon.
Close at hand is the 1876 opened Swing Bridge, the biggest of its kind in the world at the time and still carrying out the function for which it was built, although there may not be any commercial use of the swing function between the monthly maintenance tests, a contrast to the 6,000 swings recorded in 1924.
Behind is the 1928 Tyne Bridge, whose 531 ft steel span is still the biggest in Britain. Partly visible behind the left-hand side of the bridge is the slender shape of the 2001 completed Millennium Bridge, the world's first rotating bridge. Also behind the Tyne Bridge is Sage Gateshead, an internationally renowned centre of music and performance that opened in 2004.
