Parsons invented the steam turbine in 1884 while he was head of electrical development at Clarke Chapman Ltd in Gateshead. The first application of the turbine was to drive an electrical generator. Parsons founded his own company 5 years later but it wasn't until 1897 that he made the leap to ship propulsion and designed and built Turbinia.

There’s a load more of them air vents, i at haymarket and another opposite the library where the demolition works going on that’s just the little I know. I love the split track from jesmond passing the carriage and then appears around the manors area then disappears under to join the st James link which if you look at its infrastructure you’ll start to see more vents and doorways into the metro system. You could make a huge video I bet on what’s under there but I’d rather keep all that for those who know and need too know. Thanks for an awesome show cho!

Newcastle City Council weren't the brightest bunch back then. They demolished the terraces then ran out of money, and for about two years it was a cinder car park with a potential ground rent of about £3 per sq yard. - A fortune in those days, when a labourer's basic was about £10 for a forty hour week. This was the same lot who carefully dismantled the old Royal Arcade, numbering each stone so that it could be rebuilt somewhere else at a later date, but numbered the stones with chalk which washed off in the rain, leaving them with a yard full of very expensive rubble! Plonkers!
