We have had a bit of contact with folk at Dunston Staiths this year.

Suzanne Hutton who is Co Director of Red Nile and also runs The Staiths Cafe came and gave a visiting lecture and hosted group of students on a visit to the Staiths in January.

The link below gives a bit of information about what Gateshead City Council are doing in that area, there are some interesting looking walks going on…
