Portrait photo of the Metro, King Edward VII and Redheugh Bridges, taken from the Newcastle bank during some civil engineering work, perhaps an extension to the quayside. View from the east. (Image from 1 June 1984 - 30 June 1984)

Notes about the Image:

 
'The River Tyne is famous for the bridges which span it between Gateshead and Newcastle, and that is partly because such a variety of bridge forms is displayed, but I think also because of an affinity which most of us share with bridges.'
[Stafford Linsley's annotation]
