Never seen the Tyne so high. Left work today to find parts of the path along the Quayside on the Newcastle side of the Swing Bridge blocked off by flood defences 😮

View of the Tyne running high under the Millennium Bridge.

@ekcragg Wow, that's crazy high. I used to live just to the right, and back a bit, of your picture a long time ago. Great memories.

@ekcragg I've only ever seen this on the tv show Vera, so thanks for the reminder that it's actually a real place!

@hall I’ve spent a good while trying to guess roughly when this photo was taken based on the state of some of the buildings 😆

@ekcragg @hall looking for the party boat 🤣 If I remember correctly it was next to the swing bridge.

@hall nice! That is certainly after my time. I was up there since I was 14/15 (I could fly before I was allowed to drive 😅) so that puts me around 2001… roughly. Shame NCL airport changed so much.

@hall wow, that’s so cool! My guess was about 10 years ago, so not far off

@vincent ah yes, the Tuxedo Princess with its revolving dance floor. A staple of student nights out for me. It’s been gone about 15 years now though 😳
