Opened on Wednesday 28th February 1934 by the Duke of York, the Tees (Newport) Bridge was dubbed the ‘Tees Wonder Bridge’ by the press and celebrated as the largest vertical-lift bridge of its type in the world. Constructed by Middlesbrough-based Dorman Long, the famed bridge builders responsible for global icons such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Newcastle’s Tyne Bridge, the colossal Teesside landmark has played a vital part in the history of the region for over 90 years. The Tees Newport Bridge: The Untold Story of a Steel River Landmark by Tosh Warwick features dozens of previously unpublished construction and opening ceremony photographs as the fascinating history of the Grade II listed structure is revealed. The transformative role played by the bridge, tales of triumphs and tragedies, and dozens of memories are accompanied by artwork and a range of facts, figures and plans as this remarkable example of British engineering and local legacy of Dorman Long is celebrated.
