On Thursday 16th Oct Urban Ramble Two took part. Two groups of students undertook a walk exploring the Newcastle City ring road and pedestrian walkways, the arteries, veins and capillaries of the city. Simon Court (second year BA student) recalled the infamous city councillor T Dan Smith as we negotiated Swan House roundabout subways.

Below are a couple of links giving some information about T Dan Smith:

A lecture delivered at Newcastle University on October 22nd 2013, by Chris Foote Wood, entitled T Dan Smith :Hero or Villain?
