Low Prudhoe Industrial Estate, Princess Way
The industrial estate was formerly the site of the West Wylam Colliery and ICI Chemical Works. The latter was responsible for the Spetchells, hills of chalk dumped as industrial waste north of the railway line (visible behind, to the right). New industry has taken their place. Prudhoe Mill, a paper works and warehouse, operated by SCA Hygiene are on the left. In the centre is Thompsons of Prudhoe, demolition experts, currently removing Gateshead's 'Get Carter' car park.

Candytuft flowering on the chalk soils of the Spetchells
There are a few plants of both a lilac and white form growing on the south facing slopes of disturbed ground. I can't be sure if they are Wild Candytuft (Iberis amara), which would be unusual here, although found in natural chalk habitats in southern England, or Garden Candytuft (Iberis umbellata). The main differences appear to be in the smaller size of the fruits and how the flowering stem elongates during fruiting https://www.bsbi.org.uk/Berkshire2005.pdf

Looking from the eastern top of the main ridge of the Spetchells over the deep rift of Park Burn to the isolated eastern hill. This rises to a height of 43m less than 250m from the south bank of the River Tyne.
