About

Ouseburn ward encompasses the valley of the River Ouseburn as it meets the Tyne, an area historically defined by industry and manufacturing. The landscape is marked by former warehouses, mill buildings, and steep, wooded banks. This industrial heritage now supports a concentration of creative workspaces, small breweries, and music venues within the converted brick structures.

The area functions as a cultural hub, with the Seven Stories national centre for children's books located in a former mill. The Ouseburn Farm, a community-led city farm, occupies part of the valley floor. Footpaths follow the riverbank past remnants of the Victorian industrial past, connecting to the wider Quayside.
