Celebrating a Dorman Long icon…The Tees Newport Bridge: The Untold Story of a Steel River Landmark by Tosh Warwick

The richly-illustrated bumper book The Tees Newport Bridge: The Untold Story of a Steel River Landmark explores the history of a remarkable engineering wonder built by Dorman Long that until now has been overshadowed by the nearby Tees Transporter Bridge.

The book features dozens of previously unpublished construction and opening ceremony photographs alongside rarely-seen archival material from private collections, Middlesbrough Libraries, Teesside Archives and local newspaper archives, to provide a fascinating insight into the history of the Grade II listed structure. The impact of deindustrialisation, tales of triumphs and tragedies and dozens of memories are accompanied by a range of facts, figures and plans in the book released to mark the bridge’s 90th anniversary this year.

The Newport Bridge inspired work of a number of leading artists and photographers including Abby+Owen, Robin Dale, Mike Featherstone, Philip Meadows, Alan Morley, Mackenzie Thorpe, Richard Wagner and Graham Frank Wright also features in the book.
