Excerpt from The Tyne: And Its Tributaries The preceding remarks more directly apply to the two vales of the two great branches of the river, the interest changes after the con¿uence is passed, but does not abate ancient keeps and churches still beautify the, banks of Tyne, though after passing the Metropolis of the North the river assumes for the remainder of its course an entirely industrial aspect, amid all the smoke of which there is nevertheless a weird picturesqueness, and in the absence of Castles and ancient buildings fancy sees looming through the mist towers and battlements, though. They be only chimneys of chemical' works, which, in the style and character of their structure, have indeed a considerable resemblance to castles when seen thus. Night, too, has its lurid shows of blast furnaces and coke-ovens, and past all these the river ¿ows to the sea, interesting to the last.
