    A Neighbourhood Plan for the Orthodox Jewish Community of Gateshead 2005 CENTRAL GATESHEAD Bridges Deckham Lobley Hill & Bensham Saltwell A Neighbourhood Plan for Gateshead’s Jewish Community 2005 CONTENTS Page Purpose of the document 3 Introduction 4 The engagement event 4 After the event 5 Community safety 6 Housing 9 Street lighting 11 Highways and road safety 12 Environment 14 Leisure 16 Health 17 Next steps 19 Neighbourhood Plan actions list 20 2 A Neighbourhood Plan for Gateshead’s Jewish Community 2005 PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT This document is designed to do several things. It shows how Gateshead Council and its partners through the Gateshead Strategic Partnership are continually looking at finding new and better ways of engaging and working with the Borough’s communities. It demonstrates the benefits of tailoring an engagement process according to the specific needs of a community – in this case the cultural requirements of Gateshead’s Orthodox Jewish community. And it shows the benefits of communities and service providers sharing information together to help services become more tailored and focussed on local priorities. Neighbourhood Management Lots of people, organisations and agencies are responsible for making sure Gateshead residents get good quality services. Different communities have different priorities and by not going down the 'one size fits all' approach to services, and listening more to what local people want, the Council and its partners aim to provide services that will mirror local needs. This flexible and inclusive approach is being taken across Gateshead with the borough being split into five areas – called Neighbourhood Management Areas. (South, West, Inner West, Central and East).

  • Commemorative Plaques
    commemorative plaques Your guide to a historical journey through Gateshead’s amazing past Gateshead’s people, places, events When it comes to history and heritage, Gateshead has a lot to be proud of. From the invention of electric lighting to famous disasters that changed the life of miners for ever, Gateshead has an amazing history. Famous authors, inventors, artists and musicians have all made their mark on the borough and there are a host of special buildings and places of interest. They have shaped the Gateshead we have today and are a huge source of pride for local people. Gateshead Council has erected commemorative plaques to some of the most significant people, buildings and locations from Gateshead’s history. This leaflet is a guide to those plaques, to make them easy to find and to give a little more historical information. Why not take a tour of Gateshead’s commemorative plaques? You could try to visit all of the plaques celebrating our industrial past or perhaps pay homage to some of the borough’s most famous musicians and song writers. Whatever your interest, this leaflet has handy maps to help you plan your route to the plaques. Included in this leaflet are several new plaques, unveiled in 2012. Be sure to find out more about the Felling Pit disaster, Sir Vincent Raven and the celebrations to mark the 150th anniversary of the Blaydon Races. We’re always keen to hear about the people, places or buildings that you think should be nominated to receive a commemorative plaque too. So if you’ve got an idea, please contact our historic environment team on 0191 433 3510.

  • Case Studies: How Have Culture and Creativity Been Supporting People in Health, Care and Other Institutions During the Covid-19 Pandemic?
    Case studies: How have culture and creativity been supporting people in health, care and other institutions during the Covid-19 pandemic? “All the residents on the dementia unit Organisation: Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums still have the postcards and they are Region: North East displayed on their bookcase and we do Designed for: Adults in residential care talk about the postcards to the residents, it is a nice conversation with Postcards of artwork being written out. (Joanne Charlton) a cup of tea.” Introduction Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums (TWAM) is a major regional museum, art gallery and archives service. We manage a collection of nine venues across Tyneside and the Archives for Tyne and Wear, including 2 Roman Forts and 3 Art Galleries. We are supported by the four local authorities in Tyneside and Newcastle University. TWAM is also a National Portfolio Organisation funded by Arts Council England. We hold collections of international importance in archives, art, science and technology, archaeology, military and social history, fashion and natural sciences. At the beginning of lockdown we wanted to reach people in residential care homes by sending individuals a postcard showing a piece of artwork from our art galleries. Museum staff members wrote out postcards with a friendly note asking residents what they thought of the painting and telling them a little about the artwork depicted. We set up a freepost address for people to reply if they wanted too. Staff told us the postcards were lovely to receive and that the residents were happy to hear from us. From the replies we received one that stood out was from a 93 year-old lady who remembered the Shipley Art Gallery from her childhood.

  • Here’S Also the Shownotes and Useful Links on the Episode Page, and You Can Drop Me a Comment
    Saltwell Park Transcript Season 2, Episode 3 Hello, and welcome to the Time Pieces History Podcast. Today, we’re looking at Saltwell Park, in Gateshead. As always, you can find the full transcript from today’s show on my website – gudrunlauret.com, and you don’t need to leave an email address. There’s also the shownotes and useful links on the episode page, and you can drop me a comment. Alternatively, find me on Twitter @GudrunLauret. Saltwell Park is on other side of the river to Newcastle, and not somewhere that tourists usually visit, but it’s the perfect spot for a picnic, a swing and a kickabout. My brother and I went a lot as kids, because it was right at the end of our cousins’ street. The park is vast, covering 55 acres, and is split into three parts. Extensive landscaping has been done in recent years and there are some beautiful garden sections dotted around. At the Northern Fields end, which was where we always went in, there is a four-acre boating lake, sometimes with swan-shaped pedal boats to hire, two pavilions and three bowling greens. At the southern end, there is a bandstand, sadly never used. The whole site is accessible to the public and known as ‘The People’s Park’, but that wasn’t always the case. Saltwell Park is built around the estate of William Wailes, including his mansion. Wailes was born in Newcastle but studied for a time in Germany, where he studied stained glass design. On his return home, he opened his own workshop, which eventually became one of the biggest producers of glass in the country.
