Funny, isn’t it, how once something becomes generally accepted it gets, well, accepted? Take Armstrong Park’s “cattle run”: according to an interpretation panel, this distinctive feature was sunk for bovine use by Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, writes Carlton Reid.

An amazing film Carlton.
Thanks, Seamus. An amazing day. And one I’d rather not see repeated. Obviously.

An amazing amount of water, Michael. How do you think the wildlife fared?
Thanks, I left work early that day, which meant I got home safely but it did mean I missed all these fantastic images! So thanks for sharing them.
Hard to believe that standing behind a wall in Jesmond Dene would have been a dangerous job that day…
Just stumbled on this, I jog through Jesmond Dene about once a week – obviously gave it a miss the week of the storm – went through last week and, apart from the pile of rubble on Ouseburn Road, you wouldn’t know it had been this bad. Amazing.
