I went for a walk with Laura Harrington, who is artist-in-residence at Environment Agency. We walked by the Ouseburn – a small river off the Tyne in a surprisingly quiet and neglected-seeming part of Newcastle not so far from the center, after driving with her in the EA’s funny little electric car.
This next pic is by someone on flickr – Paul J White – who calls Ouseburn “the cradle of the Industrial Revolution.” I bet some brief research would show this brownfields holdover as a pretty interesting ecosystem now.
