It was designed and built by William Armstrong\'s engineering company at a cost of 瞿222,000. It swings round on a central pier in the river, allowing large ships to pass. Better access up the river helped the growth of shipbuilding and engineering works at Elswick (some owned by Armstrong). Brown drew this illustration for \'The Graphic\' magazine in London.
