picture of air vent, tyne tunnel, jarrow

Tyne Tunnel ventilation shaft

A reproduction gas lamp stands sentinel in front of the air ventilation shaft for the Tyne Tunnel in Jarrow. Ventilation is essential to clear away the exhaust fumes from the thousands of cars and lorries who use the tunnel every day.
The Tyne Tunnel carries the A19 trunk road deep under the bed of the River Tyne and motorists pay a toll at the North end for passing through, you can view the tunnel's webcams - here
This is the start of a small series of pictures taken in Jarrow.

This is an amazing study of lines. Well done on the monochrome conversion too.

I'm working on an exhibition of post war architecture in the north east. It's not for profit, but I'd really like to use your photo as an illustration of the Tyne Tunnel. It would be credited.

Let me know.
