Tyneside from the Air

Preorder Now - Published May 2009

From an extraordinary bird’s eye view, Tyneside from the Air, captures the remarkable history and changes that can be seen in the industrial and commercial heart of North East England.

Tyneside from the Air contains over 150 images drawn from the Webb Aviation Aerial Photographic Library with subjects ranging from Gateshead’s new Sage Building to Newcastle’s 14th Century Augustinian Friary and locations throughout Tyneside including Newcastle, Gateshead, Jarrow, South Shields, Hebburn, Tynemouth, North Shields, Cullercoats, Whitley Bay and Wallsend.

Tyneside is an area in the midst of great change. The changed have been cleverly captured in this book with images of the remaining shipyards together with the new riverside apartments and marinas which have replaced much of the old heavy industry.

The photographs are taken using the latest professional digital photographic cameras and specialist lenses including an extremely long focal length image stabilized lens mounted on a gyro stabilizer specially developed for aerial photography which has enabled probably the highest resolution civilian aerial photographs of Tyneside ever taken from a moving aeroplane. This has allowed the photographer to capture some remarkable images such as the photographs of Newcastle Green Festival and Earl Grey memorial.
