Newcastle-upon-Tyne Swing Bridge in the Victorian Period: A Vintage Lantern Slide from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection This vintage lantern slide, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past of Newcastle-upon-Tyne's iconic Swing Bridge during the Victorian era. The image, filled with the charm and character of the Edwardian period, showcases the bridge in all its early glory. Newcastle Swing Bridge, a marvel of engineering, was built between 1898 and 1901, connecting the cities of Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead across the River Tyne. The bridge's unique design allowed it to swing open to accommodate the passage of larger ships, making it an essential part of the bustling port city. In this photograph, the bridge stands proudly against the backdrop of the River Tyne, with the imposing silhouette of the Prison on the left and the elegant curves of the Wear and Northumberland Bridges in the distance. The image is further enhanced by the intricate details of the ships anchored in the river, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the scene. The lantern slide, with its rich, warm tones, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the historical significance and charm of Newcastle-upon-Tyne during the Victorian period. This photograph is not only a testament to the city's rich industrial history but also a beautiful reminder of the elegance and engineering marvels of the past.
