This video covers the history of the Ryder and Yates Tyne Deck, an ambitious plan in the 1960s to construct a concrete deck over the River Tyne. This would have been a symbol for combining Newcastle and Gateshead into a new city of Tyneside. The plan as a thought piece set to rethink how the industrial quayside was used, which has remarkable resemblance to the city's layout today.
