@russellcurtis @harpandharp I really like the Aalto-esque patchwork brickwork. Stacks of character and favourable planning for hopefully not much more cost..?

Here’s @ITVX showing off some of the great community work going on across Byker.

From @bykercc to @SilvieFisch, @pennypotwash and ACANE, it warms my heart so much to see the best bits of Byker getting the spotlight.

The buildings might need some TLC but the views from the Byker Wall in the cherry blossom dusted May sunshine is pretty special #Byker #Newcastle

@JordanCReeve @neheritagelib Have been waiting keenly for a Byker video from you Jordan. Do it!

@JordanCReeve I really like this and glad to see it’s a local firm trying something a bit more unconventional. Itching to see three bays at ground level though!

One of the wall’s ’Easter eggs’ - scooping down at its most northerly corner to reveal St. Lawrence’s Church behind. The church was added to the heritage at risk register just a few weeks ago.

@JordanCReeve Edinburgh printmakers in Fountainbridge is worth a visit. Interestingly Kiln have a new venture in Edinburgh called Patina that’s on my list. Nice looking new build but looks out of the way!

Found a new gem on Shields Road in Sabor Mediterranean. The tortilla was delicious and William is a fantastic host!
