IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE


Newcastle Upon Tyne and the Gateshead area have seen a dramatic regeneration in recent years, particularly around the Quayside area bordering the River Tyne.


Replacing the old warehouses and workshops are imaginatively designed upmarket shops and apartments commanding premium prices.


As a celebration of this rebirth, the Millennium Eye Bridge was commissioned. This amazing structure can be raised and lowered to allow vessels to pass giving the appearance of a "Blinking Eye".


Stretching towards the night sky, here it is shown in the raised position.
