Building the Tyne Bridge Exhibition Poster

Between 1925 and 1928, the construction of the Tyne Bridge, officially known as the George V Bridge, was meticulously documented through a series of industrial photographs. These images, part of the Dorman Long collection, provide a detailed visual record of the bridge's development, capturing the intricate engineering processes and the workforce involved. ​

Published in October 1988 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Tyne Bridge.

This poster depicts a view of the Bridge nearing completion from the Gateshead side.

Constructed by Dorman Long and Co. of Middlesbrough, the bridge stands as a testament to early 20th-century industrial prowess and has since become an iconic symbol of Tyneside. The photographic documentation not only showcases the architectural and engineering feats of the time but also offers insight into the labor and coordination required for such a monumental project.
