Ouseburn 2024

Photos of the Ouseburn area taken in 2024. A little short of content for the first few months due to being unwell.

I'm back now though and maybe you can check out Ouseburn 2020 to 2023 until I get going properly.

Stepney Bank, Ship Inn.

The Ship Inn is a popular and attractive traditional working class pub located in the heart of the Ouseburn, lying beneath Byker Bridge. In the past it was popular with the local abattoir workers. The building was originally part of a terrace in Stepney Bank which was destroyed during the 1930s. It has been designed relatively simply. It has two storeys and an attic above with two dormers. The ground floor has large windows with painted stone lintels and sills. The façade is brick and the west side has been rendered white. Also on the side is a single storey modern garage extension.

Stepney Bank, Byker Bridge.

Constructed in 1878 to overcome the need to descend and ascend the steep sides of the Lower Ouseburn Valley. 1878 for pedestrians, 1879 for raod traffic. A toll was charged for its use until 1895. Cost £50,000 to build. Originally a toll bridge. Purchased by City Council in 1890 for £107,500. Between 1878 and 1895 a toll of half a penny was charged for use of the brick bridge. Toll lifted 1895. In 1899 the bridge was widened from its original width of 9m to 15m.

Lime Street, England Til I Died.

A mural of a 14-year-old boy who died of sudden cardiac arrest has been unveiled to raise awareness of the condition. Taylor Atherton, from North Shields, a promising young footballer who dreamed of playing professionally, died in 2016.

The mural features the message "England 'til I died", to draw attention to the issue during Euro 2024. His mural is one of 12 to be showcased across the country as part of a British Heart Foundation campaign to draw attention to how 12 young people under the age of 35 die from sudden cardiac death in the UK each week.
