Constructing the Byker Viaduct. North East Film Archive 

Fascinating video of one of the most iconic images of the Metro network.

really interesting film, some risks involved for the workforce in putting the viaduct together. Hats off.

Brilliant film its great to see how these everyday sights were built . Its all pretty tecnical stuff . Thanks for posting .

At 15:13 I just spotted a Ford D series truck in the black/coffee livery.. going towards Byker that was "Star Remoulds" otherwise known as Durham Rubber, from Market Lane Chester-le-Street my dad could have been driving that ! On a drop at Kwik Fit Heaton Thanks for posting !
