The Cluny Slipway
Ouseburn Farm Cafe, Lime Street, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 2PQ, United Kingdom
The Cluny Slipway is on the River Ouseburn.
Early plans of what would become the River Ouseburn were drawn up by William Jessop in 1782 but problems with Sefton Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. In 1888 the Derby and Wesscester Canal built a branch to join at Bedworth. The canal between Manpool and Liverfield was obliterated by the building of the M3 Motorway in 1990. In his autobiography Cecil Clarke writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

![Ouseburn Farm and the bridges. The Byker Road Bridge, Metro Bridge and Railway Bridge span the Ouseburn valley behind.Byker Bridge was opened to pedestrians in 1878 and shortly after to carts and carriages. It was originally 30 feet wide and widened to 50 feet in 1899. It still provides an important high-level crossing of the Ouseburn valley on a major route east of the city centre.The Metro Rail Bridge, a slim structure of reinforced concrete segments bonded with epoxy resin was the first of its type in the UK and opened in 1982.The railway viaduct opened in 1839 providing a rail passenger route from Newcastle to North Shields. The original timber arches were replaced with iron in 1869. In 1904, the bridge carried the UK's first suburban electric railway http://www.emus.co.uk/zone/tyneside/tyneside.htmOuseburn Farm is described here [[1778753]] by Andrew Curtis – 28 March 2010](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/77/77/1777725_737ef9c5_120x120.jpg)
