Talk:Tyne Bridge

message: Hello the Tyne bridge being based on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, it was actually the other way round.  The Tyne Bridge was built in 1928 and was opened officially in 1929, whereas the Sydney Harbour Bridge was built in 1931 and opened in 1932, so the Sydney Harbour bridge was in fact based on the Tyne bridgedj_paul84 23:21, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nonsense. The Sydney Harbour Bridge was designed by John Bradfield in 1916 - the same year the Hell Gate Bridge opened - although actual construction was delayed due to WW1, commencing in 1922. The Hell Gate Bridge was a major international engineering achievement, and Brafieled would certainly have known of it. The Tyne Bridge was designed in 1924, and was probably influenced by both the Hell Gate and Sydney designs - although it actually looks more like the Bayonne Bridge than either of them. --Centauri 00:22, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Well actual historical reality is rather different. It should be self-evident that a structure designed in 1924 cannot possibly be the inspiration for a structure designed 8 years before, in 1916. --Centauri 12:45, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I am a little unsure why the article says several times that it is green. It says it was green when constructed, and is certainly green now. Was it ever any other colour? Bob 19:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the article is very emphatic about the colour. I am particularly confused by this sentence: "The same colours were used to paint the bridge for its Millennium year". The bridge is not quite as old as all that! Should it be "the millennium year", or "its (something) anniversary year" or what? Perhaps just giving the year would be best.

message: Do we really need it there? I mean sure the pictures are nice and all but we have 3 other pictures situated around the article, plus several links to more photographs lower down in the article. Is it actually necessary to have it there? -Painezor TC 00:12, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't say any of the pictures in the gallery are particularly helpful. I seem to remember that I removed it a while back when I distributed some of the images around the article, but it seems to have returned again. Having said that, I suppose it's not doing any harm - the one of it behind the Millenium Bridge could be useful in showing its position, perhaps. The night-time one and the "from the North" one aren't particularly brilliant, though. I've also removed one that appears to be a repeat. Bob talk 00:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I can still see several pictures there... -Painezor TC 13:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed (for now) the claim that the design of the Tyne Bridge was based on the SHB. It's unsupported by a source, and contradicted by the sources cited in the SHB article. Please only reinstate the claim if you can support it with a reliable source. BearAllen (talk) 06:06, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
