where to stay, where to eat, what to do, where to shop and what's on this week

The world famous Tyne Bridge is the symbol of Newcastle, but it is the youngest of the three great bridges. The bridge was built in 1925-28 and was opened by King George V.

The Swing Bridge was built by Sir W.G Armstrong and opened in 1876. It swivels about its centre point on huge roller-bearings and is operated by hydraulic pressure.
