Welcome to Byker
b'
\'High on a hill once striped with dense terraces...
\\nDue east of a city built on ships and coal...
\\nOne region south of where Northern Lights dance...
\\nAnd ten miles west of the deep North Sea...
\\nByker lives. NE6. The Wall.\'
\\nNorthern Stage Young Company \\u2018The Team\\u2019 have co-created eight brand new audio experiences for Byker and beyond.
\\nThe words were inspired or spoken by the people of the Byker Wall estate in Newcastle, and each piece is a world premiere of new people and new ideas.
\\nThey are a mixture of fictions based on fact, and of real words spoken.
\\nThese eight short audio experiences require you to simply listen.
\\nThey were originally designed to be enjoyed in a series of specific locations across the estate, but in the absence of those streets, terraces and amphitheatres can be listened to wherever you choose.
\\nFeel free to rewind, re-listen and re-share these stories about the brightly coloured streets of Byker.
\\nThank you for sharing this time with us.
\\nCo-Created with our communities in Byker
