Two of Newcastle and Gateshead’s most iconic structures span the River Tyne in this dramatic image: the majestic Tyne Bridge, completed in 1928, and the red-and-white Swing Bridge, built in 1876 on the site of a Roman crossing. The Tyne Bridge, with its soaring arch, is a powerful symbol of the North East’s engineering heritage, while the Swing Bridge’s rotating mechanism reflects Victorian innovation and adaptability in an industrial age.
This high-resolution aerial photograph captures both bridges bathed in soft light, reflecting off the calm river below. The marina to the right and historic quayside architecture lend a vibrant urban context to this celebrated crossing point. An ideal image for lovers of Tyneside, industrial history, or British bridge design.
