I’ve been doing pretty well at getting out for a cycle before each working day. I only missed last Thursday, when it was pouring rain. Here’s a photo I took this morning in Jesmond Park to pair up with a circa 1950 photo from the University of Newcastle Living Histories site.
This is the spot that the Rankin Park to Jesmond bypass will go. (If it ever gets built.)
Update : Here’s the same scene in January 2025 when the bypass construction is well and truly underway.
