Brick Wall, Minton Lane
This fine brick wall, which stretches for more than 200 metres on the north side of Minton Lane, was once the southern boundary wall of the Minton Lane Gas Works. First appearing on the second edition of the Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area in 1899, the gas works were, until dismantled in 2016, a vital part of the gas supply system, responsible for supplying gas to thousands of people across the country. More latterly, they were used to bolster the gas network’s supplies during colder weather, and at peak times in the early evenings. At the time of the publication of the 1899 map Minton Lane was known as Meadowell Lane. For a selection of detailed free to download walking routes in the area visit www.northtynesidewalks.co.uk

Interior of Metro carriage, looking towards the front
The best seat on the Metro is the one right at the front and next to the driver - this section (just arriving at Meadow Well station) is very straight
