Today's sunrise at St. Alban's Church, Earsdon, North Tyneside. Designed by John and Benjamin Green, also responsible for the likes of The Theatre Royal, Grey's Monument (the column bit, anyway), Penshaw Monument, and many, many more...

Newcastle's beautiful High Level Bridge captured yesterday. It blows my mind to think what people would have thought of this when it opened in 1849.

Probably late Victorian or Edwardian Steve. Apparently the swing type bottle came into use in the 1890's. I found another similar one last week.

Built in 1921: Constructed by apprentices at Palmers Shipbuilding and Iron Company in Jarrow. It made its final crossing on November 4, 1967—the same day the new Tyne Tunnel opened—before being towed away and scrapped at Dunston.

I moved to Mundella Terrace (about 50 metres away) in 1999 and Mrs Clough was still working in there, tho she was in advanced years and one learnt to only ask for sweets in arms reach, unless you have time to burn, bless her.
