Description: | This is a trade token issued in Sunderland in 1797. One side shows sailing vessels. The other side shows Wearmouth Bridge, which had opened the year before. The inscription has partly disappeared, but it gave the measurements of the bridge. At the time it was the largest single-span iron bridge in the country. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East transport Sunderland | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
