The Tyne Bridge by steventilly
From Black Gate drop down the street called 'Side' and head downhill towards the river. After continuing downwards down Dean Street you will emerge almost directly beneath 'The Tyne Bridge' - Newcastle's most famous landmark. Forerunner to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which is of similar design but somewhat larger!It was built between 1925 and 1928 by Dorman Long of Middlesbrough and it was the largest single span bridge in the world until the Sydney bridge was built in 1932, also by Dorman Long.
On the far bank, behind the ship (it's a floating nightclub) is The Sage Centre - a new Centre For Music being built on the Gateshead side of the Tyne.
