A view showing the newest Tyne Bridge completed about 10 yrs earlier in 1928. Then upriver is the Swing Bridge, then the High Level Bridge & lastly the King Edward 7th bridge.

If memory serves me correctly after KE VII there are the Redhugh bridge and the Scotswood bridge and to the east of the Tyne bridge there was another built, ""The Millenium bridge"" which I saw in 2017.

It is a fact that George V and queen Mary opened our tyne bridge and stayed at the Station hotel who charged them for it. Everytime they passed through Newcaztle station, she pulled the blinds down !!!
