Theres no fog on the Tyne, but still plenty of atmosphere in this sunset view over
Theres no fog on the Tyne, but still plenty of atmosphere in this sunset view over the river from Gateshead in January, 1938, as a passenger train steams over Robert Stephensons 1849 wrought iron High Level Bridge (a bravura double-decker exercise carrying a road beneath the railway level). Some 130 ft below can be seen part of William Armstrongs Swing Bridge. Sunset, a view of the Tyne with a train crossing over the railway bridge in Newcastle.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the enchanting month of January, 1938, this mesmerizing print transports us back to a time when the Tyne River was devoid of fog but brimming with an ethereal atmosphere. From Gateshead, we are treated to a breathtaking sunset view that unfolds before our eyes. The silhouette of Robert Stephenson's remarkable High Level Bridge takes center stage as it proudly carries both railway and road traffic on its double-decker structure, showcasing engineering brilliance from 1849. As dusk settles over the landscape, a passenger train gracefully steams across the bridge, leaving behind traces of its powerful presence. This snapshot reveals not only the magnificence of locomotive technology but also pays homage to William Armstrong's Swing Bridge below – a testament to ingenuity spanning some 130 feet beneath. The Daily Mirror's Memory Lane Prints have expertly captured this moment in history where nature and human innovation harmoniously intertwine. With no commercial agenda in sight, their focus lies solely on preserving and sharing these nostalgic glimpses into our past. Let your imagination wander as you immerse yourself in this scene; feel the cool breeze off the river and hear the rhythmic chugging of steam-powered engines echoing through time. Join us on this journey through Newcastle's rich architectural heritage and transport yourself back to an era where sunsets painted dreams upon iron bridges.
