taken 62 years ago, near to Gateshead, England

Fog on the Tyne
Fog on the Tyne
Those were the days - when nobody would have envisaged a clean river, clean air, the Millennium Bridge, The Baltic, The Glasshouse International Centre for Music (formerly The Sage), The Queen Elizabeth Bridge and Metro, and this being a place for highly desirable hotels, apartments, Law Courts, and catering establishments. Shipping was still coming almost beneath the Tyne Bridge to be discharged, with no thought of container vessels.

Taken with a Box Brownie camera. I'd never have thought I would be taking this linked photo over 50 years later with a hand held device that was a telephone, torch, calculator, satellite positioning device, television and radio receiver, and much more; Link
