Description
Newcastle is built on glacial deposits which are over 100ft deep. As these flowed down to the Tyne gorge, deep valleys were cut into the surface. The Pandon Dene was wide as well as deep - 140 yards wide near the east end of Northumberland Road. Pampedenburn (1270-80, 1324, 1425), Pampedenburne (1430), Pandon Borne (1558). The lower section of Pandon Dene up to Pandon Gate was culverted after 1649. From around 1840 the culverts were used for sewage disposal. Pandon Dene beyond the town walls was the last major section of the valley to be filled. Bourne had previously described it as "a very romantick place, full of hills and vales". Waste material from the Victoria Tunnel was dumped in the dene in 1842, then material from Manors Station construction was added. In 1881 material from St. Michael's Mount was added. By 1886 the Pandon dene was almost all infilled. In 1977 durin President Carter's visit to Newcastle, part of the infill of Pandon Dene south of the Civic Centre, subsided under the weight of the crowd.

By 1886 the Pandon dene was almost all infilled. In 1977 during President Carter's visit to Newcastle, part of the infill of Pandon Dene south of the Civic Centre, subsided under the weight of the crowd {1}. Excavations in 1986 found that a breach was made into the culvert of the Pandon Dene and a new pipe laid to divert the burn into a sewer beneath Broad Chare. The culvert was vaulted and had a V-shaped sandstone pavement. Possibly C17 or later. There is evidence in Corporation leases from the end of C17 (TWAS 589/6) of tenants being allowed to enclose the burn. The medieval waterfront reclamation of Newcastle has been explored in several archaeological excavations amongst which the most informative have been those in the estuary of the Pandon Burn. The earliest reclamation so far identified was in the lower reaches of the Pandon Burn, which was 130 to 160 feet wide and 3-5 feet deep. Here in the late 12th century, south from Stockbridge and west of the street called Pandon, stone revetments were built to retain dumps of stone, cobbles and flood material to create a platform for buildings and reducing the width of the burn. This procedure continued, one revetment succeeding another, each further out into the river, through the 13th century and beyond.
