Display garden on Riverside [next to the R. Tyne] The "Spaceship" is the UFO in the background. Scanned image. But I need to find my notes / the guidebook / map to work out which one it is !

Pretty sure that this was taken during the later stages of the construction phase, well before May 1990. I'm looking across the R.Tyne, from near the eastern end of what is now Newcastle Business Park. The structure of the extreme right is "Dunston Staithes" - the means of loading coal onto ships for export. It was restored for the festival, and it's centenary ! [Very unfortunately, parts of it have been cremated by idiotic vandals, on more than one occasion, and it is now badly damaged]

Sunderland 100 in a British Steel livery, applied as part of the sponsorship deal that was involved in funding the restoration. Dunston Rocket in the background, so looking North along The Link. 100 aka Metropolitan 331 is a "Feltham" with the driver in a separate cab. Very nice in wet weather, but more like a hot greenhouse on sunny days. . Note that 100 has two poles, instead of the bow collector it should have.

The "Northern Rock" drifting downhill.

Paul Atterbury was treated to a footplate trip on Northern Rock.

Northern Rock about ready to leave for Dalegarth with an early afternoon down train.
