Hanover Mill, Metro Bridge & Forth Banks from Close
The west end of Close near the junction of Skinnerburn Road and Forth Banks has changed much and was once a densely packed industrial area. In 1827 there was the large Northumberland Flint-Glass Works, a brewery, a steam flour mill and Skinnerburn Iron Works. Forth Banks was described as 'a wide and commodious road conducts from its extremity up a bold ascent to the Infirmary and Forth'. The east side of Forth Banks, above Hanover Street, was the location of Hawthorn's Engine Works. Skinnerburn Road, below the steep bank terraced into garden plots, had timber yards and lime kilns, leading to the Elswick Lead Works and its prominent Shot Tower.

Bridge and Buddleias
Looking down Forth Banks towards the Queen Elizabeth II (Metro) Bridge, with buddleias in full bloom. This area is so different from when I knew it in the 1960s, when my Dad worked for Rediffusion TV, whose Newcastle workshops were here. See also Image
