Description: | When this black-and-white watercolour view was painted in about 1790, the only link across the River Wear was by boat. The site of the cast-iron bridge at Sunderland (built 1793-96) was the high ground towards the centre of this view. The foreground is probably the area where Vaux's Brewery had recently been demolished. Lime kilns and other industrial structures were later built on the river banks. The Panns area was named after the salt pans that had been in this area for many years. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work artists living in the North East watercolours transport art Sunderland | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
