Description: | Bill Reach was the stretch of the River Tyne beside Bill Point, Newcastle, a wedge of the mainland that jutted into the stream like the bill or beak of a bird. Ships often went ashore attempting to pass it. It was so high that ships on either side could not see each other and occasionally collided. In the late 19th century, Bill Point was removed. The Point was opposite Bill Quay in Gateshead. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | artists living in the North East transport art North East artists Gateshead Newcastle | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
