Tyne Bridge
The Tyne Bridge is one of the most instantly recognisable bridges in the world. Open in 1928 by their Majesties King George V and Queen Mary on the 9th October. The bridge was designed by Mott, Hay and Anderson, M.M.Inst.C.E. of London and was built by Dorman, Long and Co., Ltd of Middlesbrough. The main span of the bridge is a steel arch, which takes the form of a lattice framework.
