Thanks to the Sunderland Site for finding the bridge engravings on this page.

The Tyne and Wear Museum book, 'Sunderland Pottery' (Baker), lists and numbers the many variations of Wear bridge transfers.  The above transfer is number 9, described as 'Circa 1850. Possibly Sunderland ('Garrison') Pottery'. The transfer reads: 'A West View of the CAST IRON BRIDGE over the River Wear Sunderland.  Built by R Burdon Esq MP  Begun Sept 24th 1793 Open'd Augt 9 1796 Span 236 feet Height 100 feet.'.  The orange-bordered plaque (bottom right) is from the Albion Pottery (circular impressed mark), Newcastle, and has a slightly different transfer.  All the others are unmarked.
 

The first two plaques are transfer 14, though without the maker's inscription 'DIXON & Co Sunderland 1813' at the base of the transfer. The first plaque has the Dixon, Phillips & Co anchor mark.  Baker writes 'Frequently marked "Dixon & Co., Sunderland, 1813" or "Phillips & Co., Sunderland".'  The title reads: 'A West VIEW of the IRON BRIDGE over the WEAR under the Patronage of R.BURDON Esq. M P'. The next two plaques are transfer 15. These plaques are both from the Garrison (Dixon) pottery, but Baker says the transfer, 'circa 1859–70', was used at 'Scott's Southwick Pottery, Moore's Wear Pottery and probably Ball's Deptford Pottery'.  The title reads: 'NEW BRIDGE OVER THE WEAR AT SUNDERLAND'.  The two orange plaques are transfer 17, 'Circa 1870. Their title is: 'SUNDERLAND BRIDGE.'.
   

The first three plaques are transfer 18, Circa 1859–70 (N.B. the New Bridge was completed in 1859). The first two are attributed to Scott's Soutwick Pottery, and the third to Moore's Wear Pottery.  Baker says the transfer was probably used by Ball's Deptford Pottery too.  The title is: 'AN EAST VIEW of the NEW BRIDGE SUNDERLAND.'. The other plaques are transfer 29, 'Circa 1850.'  Baker writes 'Probably Sunderland ('Garrison') Pottery.'  However, the last four shown here, though unmarked, are attributed to Scott.  The title reads: 'WEST VIEW of the CAST IRON BRIDGE at Sunderland Built by R BURDON Esq Span 236 feet Height 100 feet Begun 24 Sep 1793 opend 9 Aug 1796'. The last plaque has a personal inscription to 'Ann S Mc Gragh Born 2 Nov 1826'.   However, the plaque was likely made c1850–60s.  Perhaps it was commissioned as a 30th or 40th birthday present. The final two prints show similar views of the bridge with a broken wall on the right in the foreground.  Click on the links below for the sources.

The first four have variations of transfer 31.  The first two are circa 1850, attributed to Scott. The third is from a different transfer plate, but also attributed to Scott, circa 1860. The fourth is yet another variation of this transfer on a plaque with unusual leaf-printed borders.  N.B. there are many variations of this transfer found on lustre items (read more here). The title reads: 'A WEST VIEW of the CAST IRON BRIDGE Built by R BURDON Esq Span 236 feet. Height 100 feet. Begun 24 Sept. 1793 opend. 9 Aug 1796'. Interestingly, the transfer shows the conical brick structure of a kiln to the right of the bridge (the map in Baker suggests this is Burnside's Pottery). This gives an idea of the proximity of the potteries to the bridge view. The circular plaque is transfer 41, 'Circa 1820. Marked "Dixon & Co., Sunderland".'  The title reads: ' WEST VIEW OF THE CAST IRON BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER WEAR SUNDERLAND BUILT BY R BURDON ESQ MP SPAN 236 FEET HEIGHT 100 FEET BEGUN 24 SEPT 1793 OPEN 9 AUG 1796'.  The maker's mark is on the front incorporated into the transfer.  There is hand-painted text beneath, 'John & Elizabeth 1835'.  The plaque was presumably commissioned as a wedding gift. The final two prints show views of the bridge with the pottery kiln in front of it. Thanks to The Sunderland Site for sourcing the bridge engravings.
 

Note that the transfer on the plaque (top left) has been applied upside down, so that the hanging holes appear at the bottom.  It would have been sold as a factory second.  Passed down through generations of owners over 150 years, at some point it was broken across one side and repaired.  It's a miracle that such a humble object has survived.

This transfer isn't listed in Baker.  It appears on a jug and bowl with transferred features particular to the Maling Pottery. (See the Poetic verses page for a plaque with the verse (centre below) and impressed Maling mark.) Though the plaque is unmarked, it is probable that, despite its subject, it was made in Newcastle. The transfer often appears with Newcastle High Level Bridge (bottom left), so it's likely there's a pair to this plaque. The final print is from the Illustrated London News in 1842.
