Seven Stories Corner
Ouseburn, Lime Street, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 2PQ, United Kingdom
Seven Stories Corner 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

![Lime Street Chimney, Ouseburn. The chimney was built in the late 1840s originally as part of the original steam operated flax mill designed by John Dobson (now known as Cluny Warehouse). The huge, brick-arched flue leading from the chimney to the mill was revealed under the road during works by Transco in the 1990s. After the chimney went out of use, c.1900, the base was converted into a blacksmith's workshop, accessed via a door originally provided for cleaning and maintenance [[2986436]]. The chimney was originally taller than Byker Bridge, visible behind. The top was removed prior to World War II and the chimney void filled in.http://www.twsitelines.info/Siteline.nsf/8f71f680ce308c9a802573a80061c133/184a601d177a54d9802576af003e4d7c by Andrew Curtis – 28 March 2010](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/98/64/2986428_19da73c5_120x120.jpg)
