RIP Willie Taylor - one of the finest Northumbrian/Border fiddlers and a great composer of tunes. His playing was wonderfully rhythmic and was not overburdened with excessive ornamentation as Irish fiddle often is. He was missing one of the fingers on his left hand as well.
Russ Conway - also missing part of a finger. Another great musician - not particularly to my taste, but a great influence on many people.
Dunston Hide and Skin Works. One of the world's oldest reinforced concrete buildings. it has been lying abandoned for many years and decaying slowly, wating for someone to take it on and restore it, but alas the demolition men have got to it first. You may think that a reinforced concrete building sounds nothing special, but this was a beuatiful building - built in concrete with the aesthetics of stone.
