Repairing locomotives at the Scotswood Works

    Fantastic capture!!
  • incredible face said:
    an interesting picture, although it looks as if they are brand new locomotive boilers being finished, by the amount of identical boilers and the workshop layout

High Level Bridge, 1969

    Interesting how the embankment has little or no vegetation on it - unrecognisible now. Brett Oils is in full production too. The Brett Oils site remains largely unchanged since the day it closed. There are development plans which have been submitted to Gateshead Council and can be seen online if you're prepared to search for them - the potential development of this site looks fantastic. It's difficult to describe but does look very good.

Christmas message from the workers

  • optimal chicken said:
    The photo shows the staggering engineering which went into making ships. Each rivet needed a hole drilled to accomodate it. Then red hot rivets were shoved in and flattened over. That's aside from the actual cutting and shaping of each plate - every single one was different. All that but before they could do it they had to melt steel to make sheet. To make steel they had to mine ores and fuels.. The process of ship building is an incredible story from start to finish.
