This older gentleman was taking a break at the corner of Market & Grey. Grey Street, which curves down from Grey’s Monument towards the valley of the River Tyne, was voted as England’s finest street in 2005 in a survey of BBC Radio 4 listeners.
Odd question to ask, but do you know if public BBQ-ing is allowed in Heaton Park? One could cook at home if that was the case and bring the food along, but I wasn’t sure… Do you guys know?

Cassandra, I’ve never seen anyone hold a BBQ in Heaton Park before, but I’ve seen families having
cooked-at-home picnics in Jesmond Dene on the field that is opposite the Pets Corner entrance.

P.S. - Are you going to photo the bamboo bridge over the tyne at the quayside when its finished?
P.P.S. - If you like picnics, you might be interested in Piconopolis:

Hmmm. Why not phone the council? They might say no, but at least you’d know and be able to pre-cook.Be a shame to be kicked out if you don’t need to be.
Mike thanks for that reminder about the bridge! I want to get some photos of it myself :)
Cassandra, you could ask the Park Rangers in Jesmond Dene, they are in that house opposite the cafe building. Millfield House I think.
Alternatively, you could just go ahead and try it! I assume you mean using the foil-tin disposable BBQ sets?
The worst they can do, is tell you to put it out…
Mike.
P.S. Hi B, yes, I want to add some photos to my collection as well! Trying to figure out the best day to go down…
