River Tyne west of Ryton Ferry House
River Tyne west of Ryton Ferry House
Part of a series of photos I took in an attempt to determine the exact site of an old photograph showing a temporary railway line which was run along and actually across the bed of the river by the Tyne Improvement Commission between 1898 and 1912. It was used to transport iron slag from Spencers Iron Works in Newburn from the north bank to the south. The slag was used to reinforce the river banks. There are more details about the 'Heddon Streams Railway' here LinkExternal link

This photo is taken from the riverside path on Ryton Island (the north bank of the river), just south of Moore Court. The post at the base of the river bank on the south side, to the right of the boathouse of NZ1565 : Ryton Ferry House, is that visible form the path alongside the railway on the south bank here NZ1565 : View across the River Tyne, west of Ferry House
