Just heard on the Local News that Gateshead's beautiful 'Saltwell Park' was opened 150 years ago today.
What a brilliant Park it has been and used not just by Gateshead people but people from all over the area.Towns all around had Bus Trips to the Park. Here are a couple of pics from my archive.
Well Done Gateshead

As part of the 150 years celebrations, an exhibition of Charlie Rogers paintings is being held throughout the summer in Saltwell Towers. The park itself is stunning.
