Substation, Brier Dene
This is a final distribution substation which is designed to transform electricity from (usually) 11 kV to the supply voltage for homes, 230 V (also described as 400 V). In urban areas there is one to every few hundred houses, in rural areas they are smaller still, often mounted on poles, and serve just a few homes. This one stands at one of the many entrances to Brier Dene. For a selection of detailed free to download walking routes in the area visit www.northtynesidewalks.co.uk

The site is managed by the Friends of Brierdene, with assistance from North Tyneside Council, and contains some 327 species of trees, wild flowers, grasses and herbs. In total some 126 species of birds, 21 species of butterfly, 15 species of bumblebees and 165 different species of moths have at some time been seen here.
