Tyne Gin - Miniature
Tyne Gin - Miniature
Tyne Gin is inspired by the Rowers of Tyne Rowing Club, based at Newburn, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Founded in 1852 the legendary 19th century world champion rower Harry Clasper was a member of Tyne back in the day and the gin is a tribute to him and all the Tyne rowers that have come after.
The label depicts an image of the Tyne God, of which a stone statue can be seen at the entry to the Tyne club house.
The River Tyne God image came about as one of nine ‘masks’ which adorned the Strand front of Somerset House in London when it was rebuilt in 1786. They were designed by the architect Sir William Chambers. The centre one represented the ‘Ocean’ and the others represented eight English rivers: Thames, Mersey, Humber, Tweed, Medway, Dee, Tyne and Severn. They were carved in stone; five by Wilton and four (including the Tyne) by Carlini, who were two of the early Royal Academians.
The River Tyne is represented by a head having a beard in three plaits surmounted by a basket containing coals and surrounded by various emblems of trades of the district.
