Description: The Tyne Bridge across the River Tyne between Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead. Taken from the deck of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, looking west. The Tyne Bridge is the compression arch bridge in green. Below and behind it is the Swing Bridge, in red. Behind that, in grey, is the High Level Bridge. Behind that is the w:Queen Elizabeth II Metro Bridge. You can just about see the pillars of the King Edward VII Bridge, which carries the mainline railway across the river into Newcastle Central station; and, I assure you, the Redheugh Bridge (a modern road bridge) is hidden behind them all. The boats on the Gateshead shore are the Archer class patrol vessels of the HMS Calliope shore establishment, and the permanently moored Tuxedo Princess floating nightclub (the former car ferry TSS Caledonian Princess). This photo appears to have been taken from the Tyne's easternmost bridge, the low-level, swivelling, pedestrian Millenium Bridge.
