NZ2563 : Tyne Bridge and Tuxedo Royale

taken 25 years ago, near to Gateshead, England

Tyne Bridge and Tuxedo Royale
Tyne Bridge and Tuxedo Royale
This view is from the lower deck of the High-Level Bridge and includes part of the Swing Bridge on the extreme right. The Tyne Bridge dominates the view. Tucked under the Tyne Bridge is a former steam turbine car ferry that had been repurposed as a night club - Tuxedo Royale. To the best of my knowledge this has now been scrapped. This was an excellent Sunday morning ramble to see the famous bridges across the Tyne. A visit to the hydraulic machinery of the Swing Bridge remains high on my to do list.
