Bridging the Gap - 27-01-2009



A vivid sound portrait of the Tyne Bridge which draws on the voices and sounds of the river, the bridge, local people
and wildlife to explore the history, construction and role of this iconic bridge.

It straddles the river between Newcastle and Gateshead, bridging the gap between past and present, north and south.



The earliest bridge across the Tyne, Pons Aelius, was built by the Romans near the location of the present Tyne Bridge.
After it fell into disrepair a stone bridge was built in 1270, but this was destroyed by the great flood of 1717. The
idea for the present Tyne Bridge dates back to 1883, but it wasn't until 1825 that work began. The design is based on
the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and while work on the Sydney bridge began first, the Tyne Bridge was finished and opened
first by King George V on 10th October 1928.



The establishment of the Tyne Bridge was essential to the development of the city of Newcastle. The river was the reason
that the Romans first settled in the area in 120AD, and centuries later the river was a significant factor in
Newcastle's huge shipbuilding and coal industries.



The Tyne is a major artery through the city, the Tyne Bridge a vital span; a thoroughfare of business and trade, a link
between Gateshead and Newcastle, between north and south. As a giant arch, the bridge is an engineering triumph and
hugely symbolic. It spans place and time, and as a port-way it's symbolic of the changes which have taken place in the
north east. Today, the wildlife has moved into the gaps vacated by the industrial past; the river is home to otters and
salmon and the bridge is a nesting site for kittiwakes, a species of ocean-travelling gull. The birds which nest here
and on the Baltic on the Gateshead riverbank make it the furthest inland breeding site of kittiwakes in the world.



With recordings by wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson, the sounds of the waves, the wind and the wildlife are
combined with the voices of the river in this powerful and vivid portrait of a magnificent bridge.



Review from The Radio Times



The Tyne Bridge in Newcastle is a giant arch that links the north and south of the city,
both geographically and socially. It was opened in 1928 by King George V and instantly came to symbolise the importance
and the power of the giants that were located nearby-Newcastle's shipbuilding and coal-mining industries. But the
industrial behemoths are no more and nature has been quick to take their place: the bridge is now the furthest inland
breeding site in the world for kittiwakes. These ocean-travelling gulls make their nests high above the city and more
than 150 pairs have been recorded here and on the Baltic, once a flour mill, now a gallery for contemporary art. Regular
readers know that I believe wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson to be the David Attenborough of the radio. Well, this
is one of his programmes and, even in a far from promising industrial setting, his recordings of kittiwake cries are
uplifting and magical.
