Byker Time-Lapse: The Final Cut


Here’s the final version of the fantastic time-lapse film we commissioned to show the development of the Byker Garden in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

The film shows the site from two cameras, taking you from the first day of work through to completion last month.

The launch event was a great success, despite the nippy Northern weather.

What was once an unloved and neglected churchyard is now a vibrant community resource at the heart of Byker, with places to sit and enjoy stunning views over the city and its landmark bridges over the Tyne.

The garden also features a performance amphitheatre and will host a gardening club. 

The project was supported by Norcare, a North East-based suppported housing charity, that helps people to move towards independent living.
