Catalogue entry

This view to the south-west shows the castle on the right, the two bridge piers in the Tyne on the left, and the tower of St Andrew’s church in the distance. An 1830s engraving after Thomas Allom shows the same view, with a weir and a watermill, which may be the gabled building Turner indicates just to the left of the castle.
This is one of a sequence of studies of Bywell between folio 81 verso (D12424) and folio 88 verso (D12438); for the history of the castle and bridge, see the entry for folio 81 verso.
