Description:
|
Exterior view: The Ship Inn beneath the Byker Bridge (carrying the A193). The piled cast iron bowls on the wall left of the entrance are a landmark sculpture and a reference to the Ouseburn Lead Works that once stood near this site. It is the work of sculptor Michael JOHNSON (2004) and is one of a pair, the other being on the opposite side of the road (right of photograph). The area at the right is part of The Village Green a small green space built into the area as part of the Ouseburn Community Green Spaces Project built across the area as part of the regeneration programme. Set in a small valley near the mouth of the Ouseburn into the River Tyne. Once an area of industrial buildings, including glass and pottery works as well as flour and wind mills and crossed by railway and road bridges. It has been redeveloped to include arts buildings, a riding stables, green spaces, a city farm, a music and performance venue and residential accommodation. The regeneration programme has been driven by the Ouseburn Trust, established in 1996, whose mission statement is to "work for the benefit of a sensitively regenerated Ouseburn Valley, built on the past and looking to a sustainable future."
