Tyne Bridges

Another undated post card from Kevin Blair. This one shows the Tyne bridges viewed from the Gateshead bank and just west of the old Redheugh Bridge.
Four bridges are visible, but not the Tyne bridge as far as I can make out. There are shipbreaking yards in the foreground right and also just under the King Edward bridge on the Newcastle sde is a small coaster. Looks as though it could be near the Close Power Station?
I'm guessing the the photo is dated about 1920, but that is a real finger in the air job.
