NZ2563 : Tyne Bridge and Tuxedo Royale
taken 25 years ago, near to Gateshead, England
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.
