New steps have been installed down from Red Walk on to Coleman’s Field. There are other developments in this part of the Dene, with construction workers dotting ‘i’s and crossing ‘t’s.
Autumn Newsletter 2023 – A missing painting and Armstrong’s romantic side.
In this issue of the Friends of Jesmond Dene Newsletter we have articles from Henrietta Heald, who is the author of Magician of the North, a biography of William Armstrong, Baron Armstrong of Cragside (1810–1900). She writes about the missing painting of Prince Hal (more below). We also have an article on Lord Armstrong’s environmentalism, written by Keaton Bailey who’s dissertation was based on Jesmond Dene and Lord Armstrong.
You will also find updates from FOJD, what we’ve been up to and recent events, plus how you can help support the Dene.

Well done, you ruined Jesmond Dene.
I've yet to see it in person, so maybe it's not as bad as it looks, but I loved how wild it used to look. From these images it seems to have lost all it's character. 🙁
Hmm, and I don't much like having to give you an email address just so that I can comment, I guess that's why there aren't more complaints on here.
