A Pitcher by the Tyne
Dan Marcus
The aim of this proposal is to take advantage of an area of abandoned land within Elswick. This land used to be home to heavy industry and the Lead Works which, over the years, collapsed. As a result, this area has been cutoff from the surrounding communities due to the dangerous level of contamination in the land due to the Lead Works. This new scheme seeks to solve site issues, remediate the land and occupy it with a brewery and oyster farm to re-ignite interest and bring together the surrounding communities in the form of food and drink.
