Secrets of the River Team

[@BonkersAboutAlice]

You need to do a vlog about the River Derwent. It comes out at the Tyne right next to the Team river. You were just a few hundred meters from it. Also the Dunston Staithes has enormous historical and cinematic film history (movie Get Carter).

The railway arch does not connect Newcastle to Dunston, that railway arch takes you into the Teams area, plus you are not in a city you are in the borough of Gateshead which does not have city status, once you crossed that bridge at 16:00 then you were entering Dunston, when you do these walks ask some of the locals where you are, the river Team used to be called the Gut at one time because all the rubbish from the factories used to get pumped into it and it stank in the summer.

Excellent video! Thank you for posting. As a Dunstoner, I found this fascinating and educational.

[@JordanReeve]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gwmitchell1980]

Fellow Dunston lad!

[@keithweelands5822]

I've walked it, the hill you walked over that has the Causey Arch Pub and The Black Bull is man made and there is a tunnel which the river runs through it enters the tunnel as the Causey burn and leaves as the Beamish Burn. Additional when doing cross country at Tanfield Grammer we were required to run through the burn twice.

This is well researched and informative - thank you 🙏🏼

[@flippstar09]

Really enjoying several of your videos x

[@marcross2503]

Awesome videos, do you ever post your routes anywhere? Keep up the great work, really interesting 👌

[@benstrainsandthings]

Loved this video very well thought out and factual, great to see many places I recognise throughout

[@MBrady1970]

Such a coincidence, I visited quite a lot of this last night on my bike. Beamish hall and along Beamish burn etc. At 15:21 your entering Elsington Park which was heavily landscaped for the 1990 Garden Festival and most of it is still visible today. They actually built a culvert here (still extant) for the festival so people, trains, elevated monorails could cross the river Team over into Norwood section of the festival which is now has a housing estate on - still displaying brick butterflies on the gable ends of the houses. There is talk about ripping this culvert back up though to alleviate future floods. Another interesting video Jordan, I learnt quite a few things, thanks :)

Glad you enjoy it!

[@ianharrop6580]

Just found your channel…. Amazing and so interesting. Well done 👍

[@JordanReeve]

Thank you!

[@NETrucker]

Where you started your journey was formally the Harperley hall, which at one point was a flour mill, then was a hotel and bar, for a time in the 70s it was a zoo

[@johhnhenderson2706]

Would love a similar video about River Derwent

[@JordanReeve]

That’s Definitely something I’m planning on doing

[@1258-Eckhart]

That was beautiful and a great idea (source to confluence), thanks!

[@137Rita]

Really enjoyed this, so interesting to hear about the history and look at the current landscape.

[@JordanReeve]

Thanks Rita!

[@robhall1]

Great video, only criticism is when the music plays its so loud that i cant hear you speak.

[@scottpearson3821]

I love seeing a video involving dunston. How abt a video on the old claspers village that no longer exists......... just an idea for a future video 👌

[@kamucho]

Great journey

[@TheWeardale1]

brilliant, don;t suppose there's an online plan of the route anywhere?

[@JordanReeve]

I have the route as a online OS Map. Can’t post a link on KZbin but if you message me on Instagram or Twitter I can send it

[@alexrobinson2281]

Great research , I remember as a child the River Team running through the middle of the dual carriageway nearly the full length of the Ind Est ! It was about 5 mtrs lower than the road and covered over by square grip reinforcing bar and rose bushes growing over it to hide its existence. Not sure when it was fully enclosed ? sometime in the mid 60s I would guess

[@boyof876]

At the top end of Kingsway from the Coal House Roundabout down to roughly where Barclays Bank is, the river does down the central reservation, grated over, allegedly with grapevines growing over it and I've seen folk harvesting, presumably grapes!

[@TransportGeekery]

I heard that River Wear explanation as well, and it’s clearly convincing looking at the topography. I may have heard it at a Geology lecture at uni. Which I had a better source than that (no pun intended) sorry

[@jasonw4601]

Love the content!

[@JordanReeve]

Thanks Jason

[@BABYCHAOS26]

A video of Ravensworth castle would be great, although you’d need permission as it’s on private land.

[@ivanskavinskiskavar6242]

Love your videos, don't need to see so much of you. It's not why I bought the ticket.

[@BABYCHAOS26]

This video makes it look like we all still travel on steam trains and trams up here in the north east 😂😂

[@JordanReeve]

Lol it’s just the amount of heritage lines in the valley

[@Marenqo]

You passed Paul Gascoignes football club

[@trains_and_walks]

Interesting video, but please stop putting music on your videos. Parts I can’t hear what your saying and I’d rather hear the ambiance of the places your in. Sometimes the music is so loud I have to turn the volume down and then I can’t hear what your saying. So please NO MUSIC!
