Oxbridge Lane Primary School<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1990 my class went to the Gateshead Garden Festival. The Gateshead Garden Festival was the fourth of the United Kingdom’s five National Garden Festivals. Held between May and October 1990, in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, it lasted 157 days, and received over three million visitors. Attractions included public art displays, a Ferris wheel, and dance, music, theatre and sporting events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site comprised four areas: Norwood, Riverside, Dunston and Eslington Park, and several modes of transport were provided around the site: a monorail which ran between Norwood and Eslington, a narrow gauge steam railway between Dunston and Redheugh, and a road train which covered the entire site. A ferry across the River Tyne, between Dunston Staithes and Newcastle Quayside, was also provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
