River Tyne: Cromwell
Image: © Anthony Foster Taken: 13 Jan 2013
The section of the river upstream from Scotswood and Blaydon was subject to realignment by the Tyne Improvement Commission in the late C19th for shipping serving Spencer's Steel Works in Newburn. Larger scale maps show this particular stretch between Newburn Haugh and Stella as 'Cromwell' although I'm not sure why. The picture is taken from an old Ash Quay that served the Stella North Power Station
