NORTH and SOUTH SHIM:DS -PATENT
• WRQUGUT IRON SUSPENSION BRIDGE,
Designed by Captain SAMUEL BROWN, R.N.
PROSPECTUS. -

_ .
Though the advantages that mist. ,be derived from the erec-
tion of a Suspension Bridge' over the Tyfie from North to
South Shields, both in a local and national-point of view, are
obvious, a few of the. most important may be thus enu.
nierated - •
.t The population of North Shields. and Tynemouth, and the
population of. South Shieldi and Westoe, form a total of
50,000 inhabitants, exceeding any town on the great North
Road" between London .and Edinburgh ; but the river: is a
greatpbstacle general intercourse:,
In passing', .or conveying: goods,across the river at .Shields.

fie, and the rapid movements of the numerous steam meakels,
which greatly tntlanger the liVeS of persons crossing, of which
there are innuwerahle instances. • The Bridge would rente

Shields wouldihen be'within.7 miles of Sunderland, though'
,
at present any person travelling post between those towns, _will',
find the distance to be nearly 20 miles ; and the line of cont.
munication between Sunderland and South Shields with Mar- •
peth, the great_mart for cattle, would be considerably .shortened.
Sunderland is 27 miles from Morpeth by Newcastle, at preserkt
the only road, but by way of North Shields, where there-
now:an excellent turnpike, the distance would be reduced-- to •
2:3 Miles. The distance from South Shields •to MOrpeth,

On the sea coast,' will 'receive the greatest bLefit.from the
Bridge-.in their communication with the south, through sea:

meat of North and South Shields. _
_ _

The persons interested in Stinderland Bridge and in the
roads front South Shields to Durham and Stockton, fro North
Shields to Newcastle, and froth Shieldi to nt
orpeth; must
reap great • adtantage from' the • increase "of passage which-the
Bridge will promote. . . • .
The project will bear consideration not only as ainere matter of
local importance; but in a national point of view, as regards the
advantage Government will derive from the facility which will
be given to the passage of 'troops, ordnance; • and stores' from
North to'South. Shields. TynemOuth Castle has been long
used as a depot • for Military stores ; but the want of a ready
communication with the southern bank of the river, was con--
istantiv felt during the late war, when a bridge of barges and..
flat bottomed boats- was constructed at enormous expence to
little purpose.
ilt s UnderAtiOd that the distance from North Shields to Edin-
lihrgh, by a coast road, is shorter • than from Newcastle to.that
city, by Ave or six miles, and, by a more level road; and that a
'saving of six or seven miles can be made in the distance from
.York to South Shields. It follows, then that,' by a Bridge over
the Tyne at. Shields; the:distance is shOrtened, between York
and Edinburgh, fwelVe or thirteen miles, which will deserve the
attention and•suppOrt of his Lordship the Postmaster General
An alteration is about to be-made in the running of the mail, to
pass from Sunderland to Newcastle;missing South Shields; yet
it is certain this measure, so serious an evil to the inhabitants,
is only resorted to for want'of the projected-Bridge..
• It is needlesS tci,ccinirrient- on the advantagcS.whicli.will result
to individuals whose estates are 'in the immediate vieinity.of
the Bridge, or the eastern parta of Durham and Northumber-
land. The 'establishment of a 'good' Market at Shields must
necessarily follow, from the • encreased demand of the large
united population and the facility of supply. •
Though the great benefit the ,ancient and. commercial town
of, Newcasile, the capital of the North, must derive from the
prosperity of Shields has not been. stated as one of the advant
tages to be calculated 'upon froni the -Suspension Bridge, •i
ought not to be overlooked, especially when the great. increase
of ' trade is Considered which must accrue from the proposed
rail-road to Carlisle. . .
Capt. Brown undertakes that the cost of the Bridge and erec-
tions shall not • exceed 93,0001., which • is to be provided for
by a capital „of
.100,0001.. in shares
.of one hundred pounds

that he will receive a remunerating-inter:eat, of which there is
