Elswick Park & Pool Looking up from the Westmorland Road end of the park towards the sports centre and swimming pool which re-opened on 1st October 2009 after a £1.1 million refurbishment. Elswick Park was opened to the public in 1881. Elswick Hall, built in 1803, had been abandoned due to rising costs and was eventually demolished about 1980, its site used for the Pool. http://www.twsitelines.info/Siteline.nsf/SMR/7C6776AF7F62C69F802576AF003E717C?opendocument

Cruddas Park The Cruddas Park flats are at last being renovated. It was either that or total demolition which was also on the agenda for a while. Wimpey's original 1960's style (a Swedish modular system) can be seen on the nearby block. The block in the distance, 'The Sycamores', is more or less finished (at least externally), while the block on the left, 'The Hawthorns', is being worked on now.
