The view looking west along the river Tyne just before sunset tonight as I cycled home.
The bridge in view is one of 7 that cross the river at this part of the City - In order as you go upstream we have the Millemium Bridge, The Tyne Bridge, The Swing Bridge, The High Level Bridge, The Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, The King Edward VII Bridge and the Redheugh Bridge.
This is the King Edward VII bridge which carries the GNER railway into Central Station - the bridge is a Truss Bridge built in 1906 and openend by - well bet you guessed that one, it cost £500,000 to build and is 350m long with a clearance over the river of 25m.
