Tyne River Shipbuilders

While researching something unrelated, I came across this series of maps showing ship builders and related industries on the River Tyne in and near Newcastle, UK. 

The maps, from 1972, stretch from the mouth of the river (above) to the City of Newcastle upon Tyne,

and westward to Heddon-on-the-Wall, that wall being Hadrian's Wall. The river has been somewhat straightened to fit the rectangular format of the map. The bottom panel lists the bridges with their height and also has a table of distances to the seaward end of the river.
