Description: | This is a view of the River Wear looking eastwards towards the 1859 Wearmouth Bridge. In the foreground are the Lambton coal drops. The photograph was taken in the second half of the 1800s when Sunderland was an important coal port. The first waggonway from the Newbottle collieries to the Lambton coal drops was laid in 1815. The staithes were demolished almost 160 years later in 1973. | 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 |
