Description: | This postcard shows the new Wearmouth Bridge under construction in 1928. A temporary structure encases the old bridge and enables the traffic to pass through uninterrupted. It also supports the cranes, which have begun to assemble the steel arches. The building work was part of Sunderland Corporation's Unemployment Relief Scheme, and it gave jobs to many local workmen. | 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 |
