King Edward Bridge

Despite the grey Autumn day 60009 Union of South Africa makes a fine sight crossing the King Edward Bridge with the returning RCTS/SLS 'Jubilee Requiem' on 24 October 1964. The special, organised to mark the end of A4 running on the London - Newcastle route, is passing the signs marking the border between the counties of Northumberland and Durham. The spire of All Saints Church stands in the centre background, with the floodlights of St James Park beyond.
