Entrance, Jesmond Dene, Newcastle Upon Tyne
At the east end of Armstrong Bridge Link there is this entrance into Jesmond Dene with stone gate piers and a lodge. The Newcastle born engineer and industrialist Sir William Armstrong laid out Jesmond Dene as private pleasure grounds during the period 1850 to 1860, although the grounds were open to the public for a number of years before he gave the land to the citizens of Newcastle in 1884.
