🎊 Wishing the Swing Bridge a very happy 150th birthday! 🎊 Let's get you moving again. 💪 Built on the site of the medieval, Georgian, and possibly Roman Tyne bridges, this William Armstrong designed bridge allowed ships access to factories upstream. 🌉🏞️🚢🚂🏭 #NorthernHistory #newcastle #gateshead

NHW in black against a white background. The central H is larger than the other two letters which are angled to give the perspective that this is one 3D shape that curves away from the viewer. The top of the stems of the H have crenellations and a portcullis descends from the cross bar giving the H the appearance of a castle with battlements.

We hope you don't find the etymology of 'tawdry' morally sordid, base, or distasteful.
