Railway bridge over Hawks Road
See Image for a view from the other side. The Baric Systems building shown to the right of this view in Image has now been demolished, leaving a clear view of the arched viaduct to the right that led into the old Oakwellgate station This was "situated on a 32ft high artificial mound surrounded on three sides by a brick and masonry retaining wall" [Source: https://www.twsitelines.info/SMR/4368 ]. It is still shown as 'Goods Sta' on the 1967 OS map, but beyond the wall is now the car park for the nearby Sage Centre.
Traffic was queuing for at least 300 metres for the junction with the A167 (Tyne Bridge approach).

Development, High Street, Gateshead
There's a funny thing about Gateshead. It's pretty big - the council area covers a population of around 200,000 - and yet there's nothing there. No central focus to speak of. The council demolished its most interesting architectural asset (Image]), and here was resorting to the only thing anyone can ever think of nowadays when they talk of urban regeneration, which is to build a large shopping centre. This one looked so large it's almost like starting again.
