Description: | This token was issued in connection with the Sunderland bridge lottery of 1816, in which shares in the bridge were sold. The inscription mentions 'the very advantageous prices'. In reality Sivewright, the contractor who organised the lottery, sold most of the tickets but kept the prizes for himself. | 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 |
