Description: | In 1837 the railway network across Britain was so well developed that there was a continuous connection from London to Edinburgh except for a small gap between Newcastle and Gateshead. Richard Grainger came up with a scheme to concentrate the termini of several railways in Newcastle and close the gap with a low level bridge across the Tyne. This print shows what he had in mind. In the end, a rival scheme was adopted, which included Robert Stephenson's High Level Bridge. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East transport | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
