Overview

With a rich history going back thousands of years, Tyneside is the industrial and commercial heart of North East England. The book contains over 150 images drawn from the Webb Aviation Aerial Photographic Library with subjects ranging from Newcastle's 14th Century Augustinian Friary to the Gateshead's new Sage Building and locations throughout Tyneside including Newcastle, Gateshead, Jarrow, South Shields, Hebburn, Tynemouth, North Shields, Cullercoats, Whitley Bay and Wallsend.Tyneside is an area in the midst of great change. The changes have been cleverly captured in this book with images of the remaining shipyards together with the new riverside apartments and marinas which have replaced much of the old heavy industry.All the photographs are taken by Jonathan Webb using the latest professional digital photographic cameras and specialist lenses including an extremely long focal length image stabilized lens mounted on a gyro stabilizer specially developed for aerial photography which has enabled probably the highest resolution civilian aerial photographs of Tyneside ever taken from a moving aeroplane. This has allowed Jonathan to capture some remarkable images such as his images of the Newcastle Green Festival and the Earl Grey memorial.This is a collection of over 150 images carefully chosen from the Webb Aviation Aerial Photography library. It includes Newcastle, Gateshead, Jarrow, South Shields, Hebburn, Tynemouth, North Shields, Cullercoats, Whitley Bay and Wallsend.
