These Special Collections items about Newcastle's river describe part of the history of the Tyne's waters, telling of bridges, floods, commercial disputes, the coal trade, conservatorship and pollution - until, finally, a cleaner river looks ahead to the future.
Much of the material was selected from a substantial collection of local material bequeathed to the Library by Dr Edwin Clarke.
