Description: | This photograph shows Bridge Street in Gateshead before the erection of the Tyne Bridge. Bridge Street, along with Bottle Bank and the north end of the High Street, formed the main business and shopping area of Gateshead until the 1930s. The street led up into Gateshead from the Swing Bridge, joining with Bottle Bank and Church Street just below St. Mary's Church. The photograph shows the variety of businesses which lined the street including inns, boarding houses and clothing stores. Much of the street was demolished in the 1920s to make way for the Tyne Bridge approach roads. In the background of the photograph at the head of the bank is St. Mary's Church, formerly the parish church for Gateshead. On the north side of the church is a small street known as Church Walk which was demolished in the 1930s. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.asaplive.com/Lco/Lco.cfm?ccs=629&cs=2674&Preview=1 | Publisher: | Gateshead Council | Rights holder: | Gateshead Council | Subjects: | Tyne Riverside Churches and Chapels Streets | Temporal: | name=Edwardian; start=1901; end=1910; | Source: | iSee Gateshead | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
