Here we see the mighty Tyne Bridge spanning the River Tyne in North East England, linking Newcastle upon Tyne (left side) and Gateshead, viewed from the historic Swing Bridge. It is an iconic Grade II listed through-arch bridge opened on October 10, 1928, by King George V. It is currently undergoing a major restoration project. Underneath us we see part of the old timber and steel structure of the swing bridge on which I am stood. In the distance further down the river, the curved white arch of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge and the dome of The Glasshouse are visible
