Scanned from a print in my possession. Unfortunately here is no information regarding the event written on the reverse side of print.
Perhaps the pontoon/ferry landing is heading for a scrap yard?

This is the River Tyne Port Sanitary Authority isolation hospital that was berthed on the Jarrow Slake. Built by Wood, Skinner in 1886. I think the photo shows it/her being towed away for scrapping in 1930.

What a des res that would have been.

Good for shipping photos Kevin, but a lousy internet connection ...

Port of Tyne might have to bring it back, they've promised us a good vantage point.

They might think that we should be kept in quarantine!

That must be the Netty at the back...........

Joking apart, a very interesting photograph.

It will be interesting to see where the vantage point is going to be, POT has gone very quiet on the subject when asked.

Dunston Staithes, maybe?

Could be worse, could be Wickum.
