  Loving this set of images so far. Thanks for sharing. In the near future will you be bringing us views of the river bank on the north side? I ask because I have a particular interest in the dozens of coal drops that were scattered along the river banks there.

• Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:

  Thanks for your interest, Paul. As you've spotted, staithes on the north side do sneak in to some of the South Tyneside images. There aren't any immediate plans to produce a set of aerial views of North Tyneside but I'd love to do that when time allows. In the meantime you might find some images of interest in an earlier Flickr set www.flickr.com/photos/twm_news/sets/72157625316987586/.

  Hi Thank you. I've seen your earlier stuff but yes, hopefully some 'northern' stuff will come up!

  This is a photo of the captured German submarine SM UB-26. As per Wikipedia: UB-26 was trapped in anti-submarine nets trailed by the French destroyer Trombe and was scuttled in Le Havre harbor on 5 April 1916. She was raised by the French on 30 August 1917 and served as Roland Morillot until 21 January 1925. She was used in tests before finally being broken up in Cherbourg in 1935.

  The photographer Beaufoy Merlin's own description of this photo is well worth a read - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/70480518 Edit - the article includes an engraving of this photo.

  "This is the first ironclad that has been docked in the Southern hemisphere ..." and it was a tight fit - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/162655942
