John Wilson Carmichael

On Saturday 13th September, in St Mary's Church Hall, Thornhill Road, Ponteland at 3.00pm and 7.30pm, the Revd Peter Barham will use some of the research he did while on sabbatical to give a talk on the paintings of John Wilson Carmichael.
He was a Newcastle artist who produced many nautical paintings and also drew a series of etchings of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway and painted other railway topics.
His work is lovely, so (even if trains are not your thing) you will enjoy it.
Admission free; doughnuts in the interval; donations for the British Heart Foundation.

Union Chain Bridge - Heritage Open Days

Union Chain Bridge

Union Chain Bridge, Horncliffe, Berwick upon Tweed, Northumberland, TD15 2XT

A first as HODs crosses into Scotland! The Union Chain Bridge spans the River Tweed between Horncliffe in England and Fishwick, in Scotland. It was designed by Captain Samuel Brown RN, who held patents for the design of the chains, although Brown altered the tower and abutments on the suggestion of John Rennie.

With a span of 137 metres, it is the first vehicular bridge of its type in the world. It cost £7,700 to construct and pre-dates the similar Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Menai Bridge. Today it continues to carry traffic, although it is in need of a major refurbishment before its bicentenary in 2020. Join the Friends of the Union Chain Bridge as they explain the significance of this engineering landmark. Just up the hill from the Union Chain Bridge on the English side is the Chain Bridge Honey Farm, where there is situated a permanent exhibition on chain suspension bridges.

 

Opening Times

• Saturday 13 September: 1100-1500
• Sunday 14 September: 1100-1500

Additional information

Toilets and refreshments at the nearby Chain Bridge Honey Farm.
