Description: | This is a replica of Canon Battery which was constructed in 1643 situated at the Lawe Top, South Shields. It is located at the harbour entrance to the River Tyne. The large brick beacon is a leading landmark used to guide ships into the River Tyne. Another is sited behind the cannon but is obscured from view in this image.
A view of Tynemouth Priory on the north bank of the river is visible in the background. | Format: | IMAGE/JPEG | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | South Tyneside Libraries | Rights holder: | Unknown | Subjects: | Maritime | Source: | South Tyneside Images | Identifier: | http://www.southtynesideimages.org.uk/fr... | Language: | EN-GB | Format: | IMAGE/JPEG | Go to resource |
