"It would certainly be sad to think that mine might be the last generation to know the thrill of close proximity to water eddied by the passage of ships; water that laps and echoes in forgotten weed-dark places and whose soft rippling reach has the sentience of curiosity, of touch almost." "...it’s not about the views. It’s about connecting physically with a river whose banks are becoming increasingly sanitised and corralled by concrete." Alex Patterson's 2013 Campaign to save Readhead’s Landing at South Shields called 'Touching the Tyne' http://www.shieldsgazette.com/time-of-our-lives/the-tyne-flowed-right-through-our-lives-1-5549410
