Description: | In 1784 the winter was so severe that the River Tyne at Newcastle and Gateshead froze three times. In the foreground of the picture a woman is collecting water from a hole broken through the ice. On the far right is a group of men skating. The picture shows the Tyne bridge built in 1775 to '81 after the destruction of the old bridge in 1771 by floods. The original picture has a small area of paint loss on the steeple of St Nicholas' Church, which has been removed in the computerised image. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | artists living in the North East watercolours transport events art North East artists children Newcastle men people women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
