Away downstream from the Millennium Bridge. (aka the Eye). In case you are wondering, it isn't usually that busy - a sponsored walk was taking place and the route crossed there.

The Dunston Staithes are Grade 11 listed and on "Heritage At Risk Register" , primarily as the result of an arson attack in November 2003. The fires have cut a large gap into the structure, also the metal work making up the coal loading chutes which collapsed into the river is still partially submerged, even at low tide. Having had much of the paint burnt off in the fire this will now be rusting away.

About to pass under the Grade II listed Swing Bridge. The span is 281 feet and is turned hydraulically, the centre point of the rotation is under the cupola. Designed, built - and paid for - by Armstrong in 1873 - 1876, to allow larger ships access to the upper Tyne (and his Works, upstream). It cost £240,000 to build. On "Heritage Open Days" it is possible to tour the machinery room, booking essential.
