Tyneside is another late 20th century success story; like so many other northern industrial cities it had to endure a sharp decline before the good times rolled again. Gateshead Quays, next to the famous Tyne Bridge, have just had a £250 million refurbishment, and now boast a cutting edge contemporary art space, a ground-breaking music centre, and the futuristic Millennium Bridge, among its attractions. All of which add weight to the city’s bid to be European Capital of Culture 2008.
