Description: | This postcard shows the new Wearmouth Bridge under construction in 1928. Here the two steel arches are slowly taking shape. They are built up from both sides of the river to meet in the middle. The steel arches were made by a contractor, Sir William Arrol and Company, at their works in Glasgow. They had to be brought to Wearmouth in sections. | 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 |
