The post Reflection in the sand first appeared on .]]> Bambrugh Beach is one of the cleanest and most beautiful beaches in the north east of england.

Sitting atop its dunes is Cambrugh Castle. Currently in the ownership of the Armstrong family.

This image is a one minute exposure of the castle at sunrise from the wash of the tide…..This shot left me with high expectations and very wet feet.

The post Cold perspective first appeared on .]]>  

The Baltic Flour Mill was built by Rank Hovis to a late-1930s and completed in 1950. It was extended in 1957 by the addition of an animal feed mill. The mill was closed in 1981. It was one of a number of mills located along the banks of the Tyne, all of which, due to their size, were prominent local landmarks.

Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art  is a centre for Contemporary Art located on the south bank of the River Tyne alongside the Gateshead Milenium Bridge. It hosts a frequently changing programme of exhibitions and events, with no permanent exhibition. It opened in 2002 in a converted flour mill.

The post The man on the bridge first appeared on .]]> Armstrong Bridge is an iron bridge which spans Jesmond Dene. Originally open to traffic it is now restricted to pedestrians. The bridge hosts an arts and crafts fair most Sunday mornings, weather permitting.

“The bridge was presented to the citizens of Newcastle by Sir William George Armstrong and opened on 30th April 1878. The contractors for the masonry were Messrs. W E & F Jackson. It is a lattice girder bridge, 550 feet in length with a 25 foot carriageway. Varying in height from 30 to 65 feet, it is supported on seven columns 70 feet apart – each end of the bridge rested on massive masonry abutments

The post Swing refelction first appeared on .]]> The Swing Bridge is a located over the River Tyne, connecting Newcastle and Gateshead, and lying between the Tyne Bridge and the High Level Bridge (Shown in the background). The Swing Bridge is a grade II listed structure.

The hydraulic Swing Bridge was designed and paid for by William Armstrong, with work beginning in 1873. It was first used for road traffic on 15 June 1876 and opened for river traffic on 17 July 1876. At the time of construction it was the largest swing bridge ever built. The construction cost was £240,000.

The hydraulic power still used to move the bridge is today derived from electrically driven pumps. These feed a hydraulic accumulator sunk into a 60 ft (18 m) shaft below the bridge; the water is then released under pressure which runs the machinery to turn the bridge. The mechanism used for this is still the same machinery originally installed by Armstrong.

It has an 281 ft (85.6 m) cantilevered span with a central axis of rotation able to move through 360° to allow vessels to pass on either side of it.

The busiest year of operation was 1924 when the bridge was rotated 6,000 times unlike current use where it is only required to turn occasionally to allow yachts and pleasure craft to pass by and on the first Wednesday of each month as a maintenance exercise.
