A19 approaching Tyne Tunnel
The Tyne Tunnel is the furthest downstream fixed crossing of the River Tyne and is part of the A19.
The original project consisted of a set of foot and cycle tunnels, opened in 1951, and a single carriageway road tunnel, which opened in 1967. The tunnel became a severe bottleneck during the 1980s and 1990s, and, in 2004, it was decided to build a second parallel tunnel. Construction started in 2008 and opened in early 2011. Traffic started using both tunnels and hence the route became dual carriageway in late 2011 (https://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Tyne_Tunnel SABRE).

Foundation stone
We think we’ve discovered the foundation stone of an old 1800 bridge that crossed the Newcastle to South Shields train line. We had been told about the bridge historically leading to a farm (Lake House Farm), Jarrow. Unfortunately, the bridge was knocked down in the 1960s to make way for a road during the building of the Tyne tunnel.

War Memorial in Jarrow Cemetery
This memorial is for the Jarrow Soldiers who died in The Great War (1914-18).
Sadly no wreaths were placed here yesterday which is puzzling since Remembrance Day Crosses were placed at War Graves nearby.
