THE TYNE BRIDGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION 1927
(THE LAST TIME NUFC WON THE LEEGUE!)

The workers had ne safety harnesses or high viz jackets in them days and amazingly they walked alang a tightrope of steel rods high above the Tyne, with not a care in the world!

I am proud to say that 'mee dad' woz one of the schoolchildren from Newcasil and Gatesheed, invited to the openin' and who were given the day off school to witness this great event! (he woz 12 years old at the time!)

"IT'S BREAKTIME LADS!"
