Description: | This photograph shows Church Street before the construction of the Tyne Bridge. To the left of the photograph are the stairs which led to Church Walk, a street of steeply built tenements on the south-side of St. Mary's churchyard. The stairs, along with a section of the churchyard, were removed shortly after the photograph was taken to make way for the Tyne Bridge tower and approach roads. Church Street was completed in 1790 in order to accommodate traffic travelling to and from the recently built Tyne Bridge. Church Street ran off Bridge Street in an arc past St. Mary's Churchyard and led back onto Bottle Bank. It was not named until 1826 and for many years was simply referred to as 'the New Street'. (Manders, 1973). | 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: | Streets | Temporal: | name=1920s; start=1920; end=1929; | Source: | iSee Gateshead | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
