Ouseburn Valley
Ouseburn
The old industrial valley east of the quayside, where warehouses have been turned into galleries, studios and craft beer bars. It is a weekend gathering place for locals.
Ouseburn Valley lies east of the quayside, where the Ouseburn River meets the Tyne. It was once full of glassworks, pottery kilns and mills. Today the old warehouses have been converted into art studios, galleries, live music bars and craft breweries. The Biscuit Factory gallery is one of Britain’s largest commercial art galleries, and the Ouseburn City Farm is open to visitors for free. Several high viaducts across the valley create a distinctive landscape. It can be visited together with the Seven Stories children’s book centre and the Victoria Tunnel, and the bars have the best atmosphere in the evening.
