Description: | A paddle tug and rowing skiff are shown on the River Tyne in this view of 1881. Rowing was a popular sport on Tyneside at this time. The tops of steam and sailing ships can be seen over the top of the staiths beneath the Swing Bridge. This bridge was built on the site of the old stone Tyne Bridge. It opened in 1869, and still swings to allow tall ships through. Thomas Hemy studied at the Government School of Design at Newcastle. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | invention and innovation artists living in the North East watercolours transport buildings and views art made in the North East Newcastle | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
