Newcastle, Gateshead and the Tyne Bridges, 121022.
The 1928 Tyne Bridge is nearest, with most of the Swing Bridge also visible, together with parts of the High Level Bridge, the Metro Bridge and the King Edward Bridge, beyond the last of which is the Redheugh Bridge. The photo was taken from the 2001 opened Millennium Bridge.
Photographs taken in Newcastle and Gateshead on 12 November 2022. Six of the seven bridges that link Gateshead (left) with Newcastle across the Tyne are in this view, the 1928 Tyne Bridge, 1876 Swing Bridge, 1849 High Level Bridge, 1981 Metro Bridge, 1906 King Edward VII Bridge and, almost hidden, the 1983 Redheugh Bridge. The Millennium Bridge is behind the camera.

Newcastle, Gateshead and the Tyne Bridges, 12 November 2022. Some of the bridges that link Gateshead and Newcastle across the River Tyne.
Closest is the 1928 opened Tyne Bridge, recognisable to millions across the world as the starting point of the Great North Run.
Next is the 1876 Swing Bridge, which at one time opened several times a day to allow colliers in particular to get upriver to the staiths at Dunston and elsewhere. Next is Stephenson's High Level Bridge of 1849, the first two level road and rail bridge in the world. Next is the Metro Bridge, officially opened on 6 November 1981. Partly visible further upstream is the 1906 King Edward Bridge, the latter obscuring the Redheugh (Red-yuff as pronounced locally) Bridge, completed in 1983 to replace earlier structures of 1871 and 1901.

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.

The tower of St. Nicholas' Cathedral. A parish church dedicated to St. Nicholas was built on this site in 1091, but this burned down in 1215, the building seen today being as completed in 1350 but heavily restored in 1777. It was given cathedral status in 1882.

Newcastle, Gateshead and the Tyne Bridges, 12 November 2022.
Lovely late afternoon November sunshine gives a warm feel to the High Level Bridge that links Newcastle with Gateshead. Engineered by Robert Stephenson and completed in 1849, it was the first combined road and rail bridge in the world, with the latter carried on the upper deck. The lower road deck is now only open to local buses and taxis, as well as pedestrians using footways on either side.
At least partly visible beyond and further downstream are the 1876 Swing Bridge, the 1928 Tyne Bridge and the 2001 opened Millennium Bridge.
Newcastle, Gateshead and the Tyne Bridges, 121022. The 2001 opened Millennium Bridge, the world's first tilting bridge. The blue roofed buildings on the skyline are part of the Byker Wall, a 1970s development.
Views of and from the road deck of the High Level Bridge across the River Tyne between Gateshead and Newcastle. 12 November 2022.
A view of the (lower) road deck of the High Level Bridge, the first of its kind in the world. This view is taken looking north and towards any oncoming traffic, which is confined to local buses, taxis and cycles travelling from Newcastle to Gateshead. There are pedestrian walkways on either side. Above is a railway carrying two tracks.
The Grade I Listed structure was designed by Robert Stephenson and was opened for use on 7 June 1849, although a formal ceremony was presided over by Queen Victoria later in the year.

Looking east from the road deck of the High Level Bridge, one of seven very different structures that link Newcastle (left) to Gateshead (right). Close at hand is the 1876 Swing Bridge, at the time of opening the largest such in the world. Beyond is the 531ft steel span of the 1928 Tyne Bridge, still the largest of the type in Britain, and further away still is the 2001 opened Millennium Bridge, the world's first tilting bridge, where the 800 ton span tilts to allow ships to pass.
Partly hidden behind the south towers of the Tyne Bridge is The Glasshouse (formerly Sage) Gateshead, an internationally renowned music and performance venue. The orange colour is a reflection of the setting sun (behind the camera) - for a detail see picture 4829.
Photographs taken in Newcastle and Gateshead on 12 November 2022. The 1876 completed Swing Bridge, close to the site of an earlier stone bridge and in turn likely near the Roman Pons Aelius, the fort that protected the then river crossing, although no physical trace of that structure has been found.

Newcastle, Gateshead and the Tyne Bridges, 121022.
This is the castle Keep, built between 1172 and 1177 during the reign of Henry II on the site of the 'new' castle of around 1080 built by Robert Curthose, elder son of William I / the Conqueror. Although separated by the railway viaduct that carries the East Coast Main Line, it is considered as part of the same structure as the 'Black Gate'. Earlier still this was the site of the fort that overlooked the Roman Pont Aelius (family name of Hadrian), the first bridge across the Tyne here and completed sometime in the 2nd century.
Newcastle, Gateshead and the Tyne Bridges, 12 November 2022. A look up at the 1849 completed High Level Bridge, with a railway on the upper deck and a roadway with walkways either side on the lower deck. This was the first such bridge in the world. Glorious late afternoon sunshine enhances the warmth of the stonework.
Photographs taken in Newcastle and Gateshead on 12 November 2022. A view from the Newcastle Quayside of the river, with three of the seven bridges visible. Nearest is the 1981 opened Metro Bridge, with a four-car tram set passing across. Behind is the 1906 King Edward VII Bridge, which carries the East Coast Main Line railway, whilst behind that is part of the Redheugh Bridge of 1983, replacing earlier structures of 1870 and 1901.

This is a view from the walkway inside the Black Gate, part of the 12th century castle though actually dating from the 13th century, and partially on the site of the 11th century 'new' castle, built by the Normans in 1080, and in turn on the site of a 2nd century Roman fort, constructed here to protect the Pons Aelius, the Roman bridge over the Tyne. So, with a long history.
Newcastle, Gateshead and the Tyne Bridges, 12 November 2022. Stephenson's High Level Bridge of 1849, the first in the world built to carry road and rail traffic, is partly reflected in quayside puddles. Beyond are three of the other six bridges, the 1876 Swing Bridge, 1928 Tyne Bridge and the 2001 opened Millennium Bridge.

Views of and from the road deck of the High Level Bridge across the River Tyne between Gateshead and Newcastle. 12 November 2022.
The Swing Bridge over the Tyne was, at the time of construction in 1876, the largest of the type in the world. It was designed by Northumberland resident Lord Armstrong, is 171 m long x 14 m wide and has a 3,000 ton central rotating span powered by hydraulics. This bridge replaced earlier stone structures that prevented vessels of great size proceeding upstream, thus requiring 'lighters' to bring goods and minerals to larger vessels moored below this point. The high point of its life was 1924, when it was swung 6,000 times. Nowadays it may not be swung at all between its maintenance swings on the first Wednesday each month.

Views of and from the road deck of the High Level Bridge across the River Tyne between Gateshead and Newcastle. 12 November 2022.
A view of the (lower) road deck of the High Level Bridge, the first of its kind in the world. This view is taken looking south from Newcastle to Gateshead, and is of the walkway on the east side. Road traffic is only permitted southbound and is confined to local buses, taxis and cycles. There are pedestrian walkways on either side. Above is a railway carrying two tracks.
The Grade I Listed structure was designed by Robert Stephenson and was opened for use on 7 June 1849, although a formal ceremony was presided over by Queen Victoria later in the year.
