West View of Cast Iron Bridge... (rectangular) – bridge 14
John Carr, North Shields 1
The Carr version has no full stop after the initial 'R' in 'R Burdon' (see bottom left details). The furthest houses in the centre of the right details have two windows upstairs, and a door downstairs.
The decoration around the collar on the jugs, above and below, is typical of North Shields. The 'Cottagers' transfer, under the spout on the jug below, never appears on Sunderland (Wearside) items.
The first jug below has brown transfers, and the typical Carr verse 'Rest in Heaven'.
The unmarked bowl below is interesting because it combines the bridge 14 transfer with another, bridge 29, from a copper plate acquired after the closure of the Seaham Pottery.
John Carr, North Shields 2
This transfer appears to be from the same copper plate as the Garrison version above. The plate was likely purchased by Carr when that pottery closed in 1865, and re-engraved to restore some of the details. NB by that time the New Bridge had been built, so this transfer was already outdated.
