Description: | The original Scotswood Bridge, opened in 1831, was a suspension bridge, with wrought iron chains hanging between two masonry towers on each side of the River Tyne. In 1932 the century old chains of the Scotswood Bridge were replaced with wire cables to help it carry heavier traffic. This original link from one of the chains was preserved. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | made in the North East industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
