Cast Iron Bridge Over the Wear, Sunderland
This bridge view, unrecorded in Baker, was likely used by both Fell and Maling. However, fully untangling which Tyneside pottery made which version might take a while.

Single large cloud under the left side of the bridge. Full stop after 'Sunderland'.
The script on the plaque above matches that on the reliably attributed CT Maling jug below.

+ shaped cloud under left side of the bridge.
The transfer paired with another of the High Level Bridge in Newcastle on a large jug.
A smaller jug with the transfer, and beneath it a bowl. Unusually, on the bowl, the Sunderland and Newcastle bridge transfers are married with Adam Buck-type engravings from an older copper plate (c1820). See RC Bell (p15) for a copper plate with these designs 'belonging to Robert Maling'. However, I had previously attributed the large jug above to Thomas Fell. So at present I'm torn over this attribution.

X-shaped cloud under the left side of the bridge. The version of the ship on this bowl also appears on later Maling reproductions (see below).
