EDITORS COMMENTS
The Old Bridge over the Tyne at Newcastle, built in the 13th Century, stands as a testament to both architectural prowess and the power of nature. This colour engraving by Henry William Brewer depicts the magnificent bridge that once spanned the river Tyne, connecting communities and facilitating trade. However, its fate was sealed on that fateful day in 1771 when a devastating flood swept through Newcastle. The force of the raging waters proved too much for this ancient structure, reducing it to ruins and forever altering the city's landscape. Yet, even in destruction, there is resilience. A facsimile model of this historic bridge now graces the grounds of the Newcastle Jubilee Exhibition. It serves as a poignant reminder of what once stood proudly here and pays homage to those who labored tirelessly to construct such an impressive feat of engineering. This engraving captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights humanity's ability to rebuild and preserve our heritage. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back centuries ago when wooden planks echoed with footsteps and stone arches framed breathtaking views. Let us marvel at both man's ingenuity and Mother Nature's might while cherishing these remnants from our past.
