Your research stands you head and shoulders above other youtubers its a shame you haven't got your own history programme on tv I'd be an avid viewer you'd give Dan Snow and David Starkey a run for their money that's for sure.
Love the history Eddie mate as a young lad from County Durham it’s comforting knowing about history our areas. Best Geordie content creator there is mate keep it up. 🇬🇧💙
What a cracking vid, I love history always fascinates me and the engineering that goes into projects, like the hidden gems that without you I would have never know, cheers mate
Eddie, many moons ago I worked on a contract with northumbrian water. We relined all the sewers underneath Newcastle with glass reinforced panels. Under Mosley Street on the junction is one hell of a feat of victorian engineering. It drops a hell of a way down. Some of the shafts are 50 ft deep. We were nearly washed out on grey street when it lashed down with rain at Spittal and the storm water came racing down to us. We took a right up the side!! That was a close call!
Yes! More please. The walking tour of the burn gives us across the pond, views of the city from different angles that I've seen! Thank you sir for your always informative videos. Cheers.
Excellent. I never knew about the Lort. I do know there used to be a cellar bar in High Bridge, underneath the Turk's Head Hotel, whcih was called the Chain Locker. Good beer and juke box. Long gone.
I love that there is so much hidden history in the city I live in. I moved here from South Shields because of the archetecture, theatres and arts and culture. Regeneration has seen a lot of arts spaces cleared but the place still has loads of hidden jems
I've spent a couple of weeks commuting from Central Station down Dog Leap Steps and Side and thinking "there must have been a burn running down here once, the way the land rises up on both sides", and then I saw this video recommended!
I love all these historical videos and I’m looking forward to you doing vids on all the other burns you just mentioned. I wish our city celebrated its heritage more with more informational signs around telling us what lies beneath. Great video, very well done 👍🏻
Eddie what your doing is great. We all hear about the history of London , its always London this and London that, Well we have some awesome history too and. Its great you're sharing this with people on RUclips as i often. Think we Geordies completely get over looked. , same with our history But its great you're sharing this knowledge with others, Great video marra stay safe 👍
Cheers Eddie. Interesting video. I knew there were streams running down to the river under the city center, but didnt know anything about them beyond that.👍
I'm a southerner who lived in Newcastle for 8 years & loved it. Was a postie & delivered to Lort House & the other 2 tower blocks. OK if the lifts were working but a bugger if they weren't!
Love it mate! I look forward to these types of videos, as you know. I don't know why, but it always fascinates me to learn about rivers that run under cities, etc. Even little old Blyth has a river that runs under the town centre that used to be open but was covered over in the mid 1900s.
Great video Eddy. Two weeks ago I made a video while walking around Leazes Park for my RUclips channel discussing the subject of a possible new stadium after watching your video Eddy. I had no idea the river flowed from Leazes Park all the way down to the Tyne. Fascinating!
Great video Eddy, very informative. And yes, if you had time I'd love a video about the Skinnerburn. When I stayed in the Toon, I'd often be parked along Skinnerburn Rd. Got me to thinking about it, and I have a feeling I'd read that it had some connection to George Stephenson. I think I know, where the outfall is, but I may be wrong. Anyway, keep up the good work Eddy.
Tyneside Life by Eddie Hope, all you're content and the story behind the channel in book form would make a great read. Get it published and on sale for xmas and get a few bob in you're pocket, you deserve it.
As usual another great Tyneside Life documentary Eddie. Every time I go into town I look for your video markers and pass the info onto who ever I'm with. Of course I do fess up and mention your video's as the source of my information. 😄😄
I worked at a restaurant in gray street left hand side walking down to river. The kitchen was downstairs from street level and there was a door you could open right on the side of your river very dark but good flow of water spooky
Very interesting, Ed. Off topic, have you heard the news that they have decided to fill in the Grainger Market air raid shelters with concrete as part of the refurbishments?
@@TynesideLifeThey should have made at least one a museum. Several cities in Europe have done exactly that, but then again, they do more underground than we do for some reason. Most French cities have vast subterranean car parks rather than multi storey monstrosities.
Nearly choked!! The Shit House!!🤣🤣🤣 Edit: There's loads of tunnels under the streets in Newcastle that still exist. You should do a video if them, although if any of them run under a bank you might want to disregard those.. Lol. Cool Vid Eddie ❤
I live in north shields and when I'm out with the hound I've seen quite a few metal plates on the pavement saying wagon ways. Nxt to my house is what we call the lines, path we're the steam trains used to go past on way to the fish Quay.
As a small child & I asked my mam if I could do something she used to say"when a ship sails up Dean street" meaning never.she told me there used to be a river across Dean street.
I remember reading somewhere that the Lort was navigatable upto the high bridge, at high tide I would assume. Astonishing given the difference in elevation. It must have been a very steep valley.
I recall a number of years ago Newcastle City Council were planning to bring the burn back to the surface down Grey Street and Dean Street unfortunately it never materialised. You may be able to find further details in Council archives I’m sure it was late 70s early 80s
You wouldn’t be able to bring it to the surface. It’s a natural watercourse that’s underneath 2-3m of concrete and rubble. I think someone has been pulling your chain Richard.
There's the Burn that runs through Redhouse Farm,, down along the Broadway West. i remember jumping over it to get on to Gossy Golf course and landing in so many nettles... You do not want to hear how many stings i had.. I was a right idiot, (I looked like Blobby..) The stings have gone but not much else has changed. Although i am a lot taller. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
There’s no entrance lol. Like most streams and rivers they spring up from the ground and this source is marked by the sculpture in the video. I’d love to get under High Bridge though 👍🏻
Not yet mate. The history page is still down and I’m expecting an 1881 victory ✌️ as the foundation year with 1892 being celebrated as the being the year of one city, one club 👍🏻 When I get news I’ll do a video
No maps,no references,they are wrong or misread,been walking the dogs past the source for the last 50 years,you can see it and hear it after rain,it drains the moor to the north of the park,it is not a spring.
Your research stands you head and shoulders above other youtubers its a shame you haven't got your own history programme on tv I'd be an avid viewer you'd give Dan Snow and David Starkey a run for their money that's for sure.

Proper class video, Ed. Never get tired of hearing the history of our beloved Newcastle. Keep them coming, marra!
Areet m8 you ever been to Sunderland or even Middlesbrough or do you just do Newcastle area. Good channel 👍
Aye he did one in Sunderland a think. Dunno bout boro though. Be good to see mind
Why would he go to those d-mps 😂
Hi mate, I’ve done four videos in Sunderland now and three at the SOL 😅
Haven’t done any in Boro
@@TynesideLife You been to our ground. I'll have to see that. 👀 🤣 👍
As an exiled Geordie living down south, these videos are a welcome sight, thank you!
Shouldn't that be "Doon sooth"?
I’m so fascinated by the history of Newcastle and love watching your videos.
Eddy, if you walk up the steps behind the theatre at Low Bridge there’s actually pictures of the lort burn and what it looked like.
👊🏻👍🏻

Really fascinating thank you. I always wondered what the blue splashed and flowered stepping stones meant 😊
Great stuff again Eddie...
As always an extremely interesting and informative video Eddie. Priceless to those of us who don’t get back too often.
Great info, would love more similar
Yes to more videos about the burns, never dawned on me til now where Skinnerburn road gets its name from
I love all these historical videos and I’m looking forward to you doing vids on all the other burns you just mentioned. I wish our city celebrated its heritage more with more informational signs around telling us what lies beneath.
Great video, very well done 👍🏻
Cheers bud 👊🏻👍🏻
@@TynesideLife no problem pal, your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed
Class as always Eddie..
It is so fascinating to know there are bridges under our very feet when walking through the city centre.

cracking content yet again eddy lad 👍 keep it up mate 🔥🔥🔥

Love these, "hidden history" of Newcastle and must be plenty in Gateshead to do. You've done 1 burn. You may as well do what you can of the rest.

Love this video Eds! It’s been donkeys years since I’ve been in the town so thanks for reminding me of my other life! 😊
This is the sort of video that inspires other people to go and find out local information for themselves.
☝️👊🏻👍🏻
Very interesting. Thanks
Another great video, keep them coming!
Very interesting information. Love leazes park 😊
Eddie, my nephew, mentioned 2 more burns to me, which is Newburn and Denton burn. Could these 2 be linked to the Lort burn in the city centre.
Yeah there’s a few but not connected to the Lort Burn. I follow the route from source to Tyne in the video 👍🏻
Quality work
You're a natural
👊🏻👍🏻
Nice one Ed.
i was a chef in in the fox talbot on dene st you could hear the river in the cellar baz
I've got a photo of High Bridge but I can't post it here. Great stuff again, Eddy, ta.
Could you email it to me please?
@@TynesideLife Just sent it now. 👍
Very interesting, Ed. Off topic, have you heard the news that they have decided to fill in the Grainger Market air raid shelters with concrete as part of the refurbishments?

excellent, come out to seaton sluice and tell us about the wagonways.
I live in north shields and when I'm out with the hound I've seen quite a few metal plates on the pavement saying wagon ways. Nxt to my house is what we call the lines, path we're the steam trains used to go past on way to the fish Quay.
That's also called the wagon way's
Well i never new that new school day every day mate
As a small child & I asked my mam if I could do something she used to say"when a ship sails up Dean street" meaning never.she told me there used to be a river across Dean street.
Haha! The river actually ran up/down Dean St and at high tide boats could sale part way up! If only you knew then 😅
Love to find out history of our local area x
Where u get your microphone from and am guessing it’s Bluetooth, looking to buy one ☝️
It’s the DJI Mic 2 👍🏻
I never knew Burns were rivers. I lived near Denton Burn in the 1980s and never knew there was a river there.
By any chance are you using a DJI Neo or similar drone to achieve some of those shots? If you are... Nice!
DJI Neo 👍🏻😃
Loved that eddy can’t believe you walked past the beehive and didn’t mention it 😂
It’s had too many mentions on my channel 😅
Fantastic. Absolutely fascinating. Your description at 5:35 of “Lort” was cringeworthy 🤢. I learn so much from your videos, thankyou 👍
😅👊🏻👍🏻
Lol shit house brilliant. Great video Eddie as always, keep up the good work.
😅
I remember reading somewhere that the Lort was navigatable upto the high bridge, at high tide I would assume. Astonishing given the difference in elevation. It must have been a very steep valley.
I believe it was yes 👍🏻
I lived in Lort House for 12 years before leaving, it lived up to its name.

BRING BACK THE BURNS!
There’s got to be an entrance to this underground river or what’s left of it,come on Eddie you can find it lol
There’s no entrance lol. Like most streams and rivers they spring up from the ground and this source is marked by the sculpture in the video.
I’d love to get under High Bridge though 👍🏻
Where are the maps kept that show these details
You can Google the old maps that chart them 👍🏻
What's that crack with Denton burn blaydon burn
Knackered? It`s downhill all the way!😆

Unrelated eddy but any updates from the club on our true heritage ie the 1881 truth or the1892 romance 😂😂

Reading this morning that Newcastle City Council are going to fill the old air raid shelters under the Grainger Market with concrete 😢
Yeah that’s right. They’re building structures over the top of them, each end of the arcade
Does not rise in the park at the drops,it is outside on the moor.
Not according to the old maps and research I’ve carried out David. Do you have a reference to support your claim, so I can check it out 👍🏻
No maps,no references,they are wrong or misread,been walking the dogs past the source for the last 50 years,you can see it and hear it after rain,it drains the moor to the north of the park,it is not a spring.
I haven’t misread anything. Need a reference David, sorry, otherwise it’s just conjecture. Could be any water source.
