The Tyne Bridge is considered to be the best of the seven iconic bridges that cross the River Tyne in Newcastle. It is often considered to be the most iconic, is the most celebrated of all the seven bridges, and was originally built in 1928. When it was first built it held the record for the world’s longest single span bridge, but has long since been overtaken. The bridge is bookended by two towers, known as the Tyne Bridge Towers, and they are built out of Cornish granite to be used as warehouses. The Tyne Bridge Towers, as well as the bridge itself, is open to the public to enjoy.
