Ford on the Ouseburn
This crossing point was originally a ford. It is one of the oldest crossing points on the Ouseburn and was probably in use from Roman times.
The ford is now a slipway but at low tide you can see granite paving laid end-on to form a smooth surface through the cobbles. Originally there were two rows of paving laid parallel to make a smooth surface wide enough for a horse drawn cart or wagon. This trackway has a rut in it created by many years of wear from steel-rimmed wheels of fully laden wagons.

Open fire, Cumberland Arms, Byker
Just the sort of fire designed for sitting round with a pint or a hot toddie on a cold day. This pub is also licensed for sword dancing and the Newcastle Kingsmen practice here weekly as well as dance here pretty often doing the traditional Northumbrian Rapper sword dance. A number of them were in the pub when this photo was taken, having a pint before dancing later!
