Work on the new Ouseburn Bridge has been continuing, even in this awful weather.
Yesterday, fresh tarmac was laid on the long, curving path down to the river, linking up with the new bridge over the Ouseburn. Now railings are being added.
Here are some pix of the latest works.
You may be aware that some nine years ago a new pond was dug in Jesmond Dene Nature Area, across the river from Pets Corner. The new pond was provided with a dipping platform to allow parties of children to dip for pond creatures. The supporting framework of the platform was made from recycled plastic, which has the advantage of not rotting, but is expensive compared to wood. The decking for the platform was made from wooden planks that we happened to have available at the time.
Happy birthday to us! 40 years young. And to celebrate, here’s the latest newsletter, packed with current and historical information.
