Restoration work on the Union Chain Bridge.
The timber deck, or floor of the Union Chain Bridge, is now being removed piece by piece.
If all the individual timbers were laid end to end they would reach from the Union Chain Bridge to another famous crossing some five miles down river - Berwick Old Bridge.
Work on the 200-year-old structure, which connects England with Scotland near Horncliffe, got underway in October and will take around 18 months - during which time it’s completely closed.The wire ropes installed in 1903 will also soon be de-tensioned before being cut into sections and lifted off the bridge.
