Quayside Newcastle

The Quayside in Newcastle was flooded on the afternoon of 5 December 2013 after a tidal surge saw the River Tyne reach its highest level for 30 years. The Quayside in Newcastle closed from the Law Courts. Pubs and businesses were flooded as the waters of the Tyne rose and inches-deep water poured over the roads and pavements. A 400-m stretch between the Tyne Bridge and the Millennium Bridge was flooded almost instantly, and traffic came to a standstill.
