    To add to what @maureenduffy5101 commented on you were confidently striding "towards the centre of Gateshead" (previously unknown as Exeter St.) whilst actually walking away from it. Managing, somehow to evade all the interesting parts (there are some) of the place and having exited the new centre at Exeter St. you waltzed into the adjoining 'park' which was in fact a school. Next time you're up, head down to the quays and visit the places Maureen mentioned then pop on the 53 bus and visit Saltwell Park. You might, I only say might change your opinion of Gateshead.

    Nice to see your lack of research into the history of Crawley. Crawley was designed after the war as a new town (along with other satellite towns of London) as a rehousing for the slums/homeless in London, and for them the town was a revelation. Time has taken it's toll, as has the proximity to Gatwick Airport which has been both a blessing (low and sometimes negative unemployment) and curse (immigrants having to be housed). In fact Crawley currently has four hotels full of immigrants and can carry out no business of their own. There are nice places to walk in Crawley the best being Tilgate Park and Tilgate Forest, and Goffs Park, but you'll need to do research first.

    Your comment on the water levels reminded me that Maidenbower was built on a flood plain and after the first few heavy rains the water level lapped on peoples doorsteps. A major improvement in drainage was made (lots of digging up of roads for many months) with a much larger culvert to increase flows out of the area.

    Excellent video, but if you had not gone through the Mall and continued along Johns Street, towards Power Court, you would have followed the river between the old Hat Works apartments. Once on Guildford St, you would see the river before it ducks under Power Court before flowing above ground again as it flows through Manor Park and along Windmill Rd to Gipsy Lane. Luton Town new Football ground on Power Court will open up a small section of the river hidden for many years.
