After the first 100 colour copies of my book on the Tees Transporter Bridge sold unbelievably quickly (thank you for making me and my favourite bridge feel loved) I ordered a second print run of the book in black and white. The second edition has one or two new stories from local people that came in after the print deadline for the original run. The second edition is now available to order and will be shipped at the end of October.
For those stumbling across this title for the first time, it is a collection of stories, musings and memories from both myself and people who live in and around Teesside. This is more than just a straightforward history book; it is a volume that examines the cultural significance of the bridge and its impact on the local community.It features over 50 original photographs of the bridge and the Middlesbrough area and, perhaps most importantly, it conveys the bridge’s unique narrative which spans from modernism to the modern-day.

THIS BOOK WILL BE SHIPPED WEDNESDAY 29TH OCTOBER 2014

To celebrate my upcoming book on The Tees Transporter Bridge I’ve put together a free sample for your reading pleasure. In this extract: History, Heritage and Home, Bridge Education, Learning and Events Officer Tosh Warwick offers his thoughts on the iconic nature of the structure. This extract also explains why the bridge was important to the war effort during World War One.

This is the front cover for my first book about bridges. The ridiculously talented Paul Newboult is responsible for the illustration and the design which blends the bridge’s iconic, modernist design with the trademark industrial chimneys of the Teesside skyline. Anyone with a connection to the Middlesbrough and Stockton area is welcome to submit their stories about the bridge for inclusion using the email address below.
This book, which is released in July just after the bridge’s reopening following Lottery grant improvements, is the first in a series of books that explores the cultural importance of bridges around the world.
Stories about the bridge should be a maximum of 200 words and emailed to [email protected] by 30th April.
