A Life of Achievement
Armstrong was raised to the peerage as Baron Armstrong of Cragside in June 1887. In this photograph, taken by John Worsnop in c. 1897, Armstrong appears to be content, satisfied and self-assured, understandably so when the sheer scope and significance of his achievements is considered.
Armstrong died at Cragside on 27th December 1900, and was remembered as having been a towering figure of the Victorian era.
