The Ropery, Sunderland
The Ropery was built in 1793, on the bank of the River Wear. It was the first factory to use machines to make rope. The building, which is Grade II listed, now houses a pub-restaurant as well as several small businesses.
This image was taken in early March 2014, as spring blossom was starting to appear on the trees.

River Wear and Queen Alexandra Bridge, Sunderland
The River Wear flows into the North Sea at Sunderland. This view looks upstream, a mile or two from the mouth of the river. Here, the river is spanned by the Queen Alexandra Bridge. The bridge had two decks when it opened in 1909, with a road on the lower deck and a railway above. The railway lasted only until 1921 and has been dismantled, but the disused brick viaduct to the right of the bridge is a clue that trains once crossed the River Wear here.
More information about the Queen Alexandra Bridge can be found on the Sunderland History website http://www.sunderlandhistory.co.uk/.River-Wear-ID6/Bridges-IDS7/Queen-Alexandra-Bridge-IDI23 Forgotten Relics http://www.forgottenrelics.co.uk/bridges/gallery/queenalexandra.html and Transport Heritage http://www.transportheritage.com/find-heritage-locations.html?sobi2Task=sobi2Details&sobi2Id=90
