We're appealing to people to use alternatives to balloon and lantern releases for events and memorials - which can have a devastating impact on wildlife and the environment.
Some eco-friendly alternatives are:
🌳planting a tree
🌻floating flowers
🪁kite flying
ALT Colorful balloons float up into a clear blue sky above a landscape of trees. Text at the bottom reads: "Don’t let them go! Consider an eco-friendly alternative!" Above the Northumberland County Council logo.

The Quayside from the High Level Bridge: c.1910 vs today. Many famous landmarks were still to be built.
Tyne Bridge (opened 1928), Gateshead Millennium Bridge (2001), The Glasshouse (still commonly known as The Sage) (2004), Baltic Flour Mill (1950).
What a transformation!

A few pics of the Station Hotel during its refurb and renaming to Station East in 2016. Part of the much improved and thriving Railway Quarter in Gateshead. It was a funny little boozer, a much smaller public area than there is now they’ve opened up the arch and upstairs.

Morden Tower, part of the old town wall. B&W image from the Newcastle Libraries pictured in 1920 and comparison shot from this weekend of how it looks now.
There were gigs and events happening here every now and then but I’ve not heard of it being open for a good few years now.

Warner Bros cinema at Manors was a decent place to watch a film. Not a patch on the main screen at the old Odeon but it felt flash given how new it was. Now the site of @NorthumbriaUni Business & Law building, the WB didn't last long (89-04) in the grand scheme of developments.

An advert for W.E Harker furniture shop 38-40 Grainger Street from of an old book of mine from the 20s. Found a corresponding picture online showing the same shop in 1967. Based on the posters in the window it seems they may have closed down not long after.

Thanks to everyone who shared our appeal earlier today, and those who reached out with information.
It's much appreciated 🙂
