That's fantastic! The tall steeple which can still be seen along Scotswood Road is in this photo. Of particular interest to me is the fact they appear to be on a sandy beach?! It certainly doesn't look like that now - all thick deep dirty mud..

That tall Steeple is St Stephens church and as you say, can still be seen today, and I believe they are on the sandy shoreline of what was once Kings Meadows Island, which a local tower block took its name from. This apparently is the only known picture of the island which had its own public house and horse racing track...all long since dredged away of course.
