Heritage Open Days

Next weekend (10th-13th September) is the Open Heritage Days event we talked about a while back. Lots of places of historical interest that are normally kept locked up are open to the public.

Here are the Tyne and Wear events which include Grey's Monument being opened on Sunday. You will have to climb 164 steps to get to the top but it's worth it as the view is stunning. The Swing Bridge tour isn't listed but it was on the local news the other night. Places on that tour MUST be prebooked. I'll post more info on that if I spot any.

Wouldn't it be fitting if report number 2 (number 1 here) in New Links Guide To Newcastle's Historic Tunnels series were written in time for the event? Parp.
