Two programmes about unconventional youth ventures and their relationship with the authorities: by RAY GOSLING
2: The Morden Tower
This tower is in a backstreet of Newcastle at one end of Hadrian's Wall. It was a derelict building when a young poet and his wife managed to rent it from the city Corporation. They turned it into an Arts Centre, where poetry readings were, and still are, held.
They had other plans for the Morden tower. But these have not yet been realised. Why not? Is it the fault of the authorities in a city well-known for its sophisticated local government, or is it the fault of the young people themselves?
