  • Bridges Over the Tyne Session Plan
    Bridges over the Tyne Session Plan There are seven bridges over the Tyne between central Newcastle and Gateshead but there have been a number of bridges in the past that do not exist anymore. However the oldest current bridge, still standing and crossing the Tyne is actually at Corbridge, built in 1674. Pon Aelius is the earliest known bridge. It dates from the Roman times and was built in the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian at the same time as Hadrian’s Wall around AD122. It was located where the Swing Bridge is now and would have been made of wood possibly with stone piers. It last- ed until the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the 5th century. Two altars can be seen in the Great North Museum to Neptune and Oceanus. They are thought to have been placed next to the bridge at the point where the river under the protection of Neptune met the tidal waters of the sea under the protection of Oceanus. The next known bridge was the Medieval Bridge. Built in the late 12th century, it was a stone arched bridge with huge piers. The bridge had shops, houses, a chapel and a prison on it. It had towers with gates a drawbridge and portcullis reflecting its military importance. The bridge collapsed during the great flood of 1771, after three days of heavy rain, with a loss of six lives. You can still see the remains of the bridge in the stone archways on both the Newcastle and Gateshead sides of the river where The Swing Bridge is today.

  • Bridgescape As an Assessment Tool in the Socio- Spatial and Visual Connections of the Central Urban Areas of Newcastle and Gateshead
    Special Issue, | Roadscape, 8(36) Bridgescape as an Assessment Tool in the Socio- spatial and Visual Connections of the Central Urban Areas of Newcastle and Gateshead Goran Erfani Abstract | Newcastle University, UK Growing roads and mobility have led to the formation of new landscape types: known bridgescape or bridge landscape. The social, [email protected] cultural, and visual impacts of bridges on their surroundings as drivers and symbols of the development have gained increasing significance in roadscape studies. This article aims to assess the role and design of bridges in the socio-spatial and visual connections of the central urban areas of Newcastle and Gateshead, located in North East England, by the criterion of the bridgescape. The findings of this article show that bridges are not only transitional passages; rather, they can be socio-spatial destinations for people to meet, do collective activities and improve their environmental perceptions. In urban milieu, landmarks have dissimilar impacts on visual connections and bridgescape. Characteristic and contrasting landmarks improve bridgescapes; however, corrupting landmarks have a destructive role in bridgescape. Keywords | Bridgescape (bridge landscape), Socio-Spatial Connections, Visual Connections. 32 No.36 Autumn 2016 Goran Erfani Introduction | Bridges are a vital element in ground from landscape architects to structural engineers. transportation networks, which connect cities, communities In North east England, the city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and even nations. Within urban areas, bridges not only have a commonly known as Newcastle, is well-known for its key role in the spatial connection of places but also can facilitate bridgescape.
