Description: | This photograph shows Church Street before the construction of the Tyne Bridge. To the left of the photograph is pictured the original Church Street entrance to St. Mary's Churchyard. This part of the churchyard was removed along with other buildings on this section of the street 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 |
