'LIVE BY SATELLITE' Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not responded to my note I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

HISTORY:

In the 1930s the Government decided to spend nearly £2m on this part of Gateshead establishing the Team Valley Trading Estate as a well-planned industrial environment.

This initiative resulted in a landscaped estate intended for 15,000 workers. It included a central headquarters, now used by English Partnerships, a bank, a post office and, some modestly scaled industrial buildings as well as some smaller industrial units for start-up ventures.

These facilities were laid out along a wide central artery, known as 'Kingsway', almost two miles long. The construction, which was undertaken by Wimpey Construction, took several years and was completed in 1938.[1] Many of the older residents of Gateshead were involved in the building of the original team valley.

The southern end used to be the location of the National Coal Board's regional headquarters but after the closure of the mines in the area this was replaced by a Safeway supermarket which is now owned by Sainsbury's. The connection remains today in that the junction with the A1 is often referred to as the coal house roundabout.

The River Team runs directly through the centre of the trading estate, hidden in a culvert.

Recently developments at the north end of the trading estate have seen a new hotel, shops, offices and a Regus virtual office building being built.
