Configure the STAITHS V1 SHELVING
River Tyne, Gateshead, 2014
Harking back to a bygone age of industrial might, the Dunston Staiths now doze in the Tyne like a fragile skeleton, reminiscing over times of coal and steam. Although now antiquated and obsolete, the graceful, sweeping curve of these regimented timber stakes brings true grounding to an area in the midst of rapid regeneration.
Opened in 1893 the Staiths operated for over 85 years and aided the momentum of the industrial revolution.
For generations coal was drawn along railway lines perched atop of these wooden structures. An unrelenting supply of the black mineral pumped along metal arteries, from the coalfields of North Durham to the Keels of the Tyne, before heading on to fuel a hungry empire.
