Newcastle's Town Moor is a unique green space at the heart of a busy conurbation. Famously bigger than Hyde Park and Hampstead Heath, it has seen horse racing, political meetings, huge festivals, and still annually hosts one of the biggest travelling funfairs in Europe. The Town Moor is a remarkable and physical link with Newcastle's history.

Lost Industries of the Tyne explores the dangerous and dirty trades that, over many centuries, made Tyneside the workshop of the world: shipbuilding, glass, pottery, salt, chemicals, iron and steel, ropes, cables, flour, grindstones and much much more. They all depended on coal, and the river Tyne - the superhighway to everywhere else.

The 1960s was the decade that began in black and white and ended in colour. In Newcastle, as elsewhere, it was a time when everything was possible and everything was changing. From the Club A'Go Go to the new highrise flats people were on the move. This book captures that atmosphere through a mix of memories and pictures.

Thomas Bewick, 1753-1828, artist, engraver, thinker, fisherman and walker, lived and worked all of his life within sight of the River Tyne. This book outlines his eventful journey from the family farm at Cherryburn in Northumberland to the famous workshop in Newcastle.
