NZ2987 : Fields east of the A189 at Newbiggin
taken 3 years ago, near to North Seaton, Northumberland, England
Fields east of the A189 at Newbiggin
The A189 is an important A-road in southeast Northumberland, running for almost 21 miles from Gateshead to Ashington.
North of urban Tyne and Wear, the A189 is often referred to as simply “the Spine Road”. It is an example of a road which was constructed to promote regeneration of a whole area by improving road access to Tyneside and the A1 and A19 trunk roads. Construction of the Spine Road was undertaken in stages in the late 1960s and 1970s to facilitate regeneration of the historic coalfield area of South East Northumberland, which by this time was suffering from pit closures and loss of employment.
