A short post this time, but a real treat for fans and followers of the history of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The question is: have you checked out the YouTube Channel of that rarest of individuals, i.e. a (relative) youngster who is interested in our local history? His name is Jordan Reeve, and he is into what he describes as 'The Built Environment'. There is much to ponder among his many short films, and a good deal of it is about Newcastle.
I've only touched upon his efforts so far, but I think it's worth a look for all you history enthusiasts out there. His piece on the Town Moor was especially thought-provoking - I mean, why can't we just get on with it and make this expanse of nothingness more useful (but without necessarily building on it to any great extent)?
Anyway, give it a try. His YouTube homepage can be found here.
Well done, Jordan - brilliant stuff.
