The Tyne Bridge at Queen Street and Lombard Street
The construction of the Tyne Bridge (flic.kr/p/2o2U1Z9) during the 1920s involved building a bridge over some existing properties. This was done by adapting techniques borrowed from shipbuilding whereby sheets of steel were suspended over the buildings and then riveted in place.
This is a photograph of the bridge passing over properties at the junction of Queen Street and Lombard Street. It shows how close the bridge is to the buildings, and how the sheets of steel were riveted to hold them together.
