Description: | This photograph shows the Wearmouth Bridge of 1796 before it was rebuilt in 1858. The picture was taken from the north shore looking east. In the foreground is the bridge shipyard, and two brigs are moored in the river. This is one of the earliest photographs of Sunderland in existence. It was taken by a member of the Backhouse family, probably James Edward Backhouse. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | buildings and views Sunderland | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
