Below the road bridge, Cradlewell bypass, Jesmond
-
Description
"The new road crosses the Ouse Burn at the south end of Jesmond Dene, between Armstrong Bridge, towering above the glacier carved valley [[2082731]], and Benton Bridge. Building of the Cradlewell bypass [[2088778]] in 1993 became the setting for a major protest largely centred about the destruction of the 180 or so mature trees in its path. It became one of the first direct action tree sit-ins by what became known as the flower-pot tribe. Their moving story is told here http://www.eco-action.org/dt/jesmond.html" Photo by Andrew Curtis, 2010. -
