Gateshead Millennium bridge.
The Tyne bridge.
We took a train down to Newcastle yesterday. Took about 1 and a half hours on the high speed train.
Enjoyed out time down there. Lots of interesting bridges and buildings.
We got to the Gateshead Millennium bridge just as it was opening/lifting. Quite spectacular. It opens on hinges once a day to let ships through. As soon as it closed again we were able to walk over it. The bridge actually moves quite a bit when it has lots of tourists on it. If you look in the second photo of the Gateshead Millennium bridge, you can see the yellow hinges.
