The area around the [[River Tyne|Tyne]] Gorge, between Newcastle on the north bank and [[Gateshead]] on the south bank, is the famous Newcastle-Gateshead [[Quayside]]. It is famed for its series of dramatic bridges, including the [[Tyne Bridge]] of 1928 which was built by [[Dorman Long]] of [[Middlesbrough]], [[Robert Stephenson]]'s [[High Level Bridge, River Tyne|High Level Bridge]] of 1849, the first road/rail bridge in the world, and the [[Swing Bridge, River Tyne|Swing Bridge]] of 1876.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|url=https://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/665382/Newcastle-upon-Tyne|title=Newcastle upon Tyne|encyclopedia=Encyclopædia Britannica|date=3 December 2023 }}</ref>

Large-scale [[Urban renewal|regeneration]] efforts have led to the replacement of former shipping premises with modern new office developments; an innovative tilting bridge - the [[Gateshead Millennium Bridge]] - integrated the Quayside more closely with the Gateshead Quayside, home to the [[BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art]] (the venue for the [[Turner Prize]] 2011)<ref name=TurnerPrize2010>{{cite web
