Pipewellgate [[1831323]], which runs parallel to the river, takes its name from the 'pipe well' from which wooden pipes carried Gateshead's water supply. It was once a centre of densely packed industrial and trading activity largely cleared after 1930 http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?kv=4967&t=objects&type=related Riverside Park was landscaped between 1960 and 1970 [[2734477]]" Photo by Andrew Curtis, 2011. -
