Keel Crossing [opened 18.10.25] - compendium thread

[6inarow]

Should they have not done this before doing the buildings

Ha! The good old Sunderland way of seeing a negative in anything positive

 

[Bald King]

The Beam has been open for a long time now & work starting to build it a long time before that. Between the end of the bridge & start of the Bean I bet there’s more than 10 year’s difference

North side of town is going g to be brilliant.....South side can be left to the scratters

I love a new bridge,

Hopefully it will be named the Vaux Bridge and not Bridge of light etc.

 

[safcrob]

Vaux bridge it should be and not something shite like Miller's crossing.

 

[RedandWhiteRebel]

Oh and it needs to have the ability to be illuminated Red & White for on nights SAFC have won.

Bridge of Sighs

I hope it's not something vague and 'inspirational' and 'futuristic' .

They wanted to call the other bridge 'the prism' for fucks sake

 

[douggie]

hope it plays homage to past legend like Quinn crossing or the Monty pass

The Northern Spire ain't too bad but I would have preferred The Joseph Swan crossing or similar.

I still just call it "The New bridge"

Michael Bridges.

 

[Baloo]

Summerbee Crossing would be better.

 

[Tuono]

Got to be Vaux or Panns or Sheepfolds Bridge.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

A crossing would have to be named after a winger.

 

[Raker]

“the pienaar way” for me

You just know that someone in City Hall is stroking his/her/it's chin and thinking 'hmm, Miller's Crossing; it's got a ring to it).

The Northern Spire ain't too bad but I would have preferred The Joseph Swan crossing or similar.

Me too.

I call it The Northern Spire. I thought it was crap at first but quickly warmed to it.
As a city we're obsessed with the past and I think it holds us back, so having a name with no link to history works for me.
End of the day it's just a name, and I don't care too much one way or the other. I was up in arms about The Stadium of Light but does it matter in the scheme of things?
