Hindsight is a wonderful thing ;-) I haven't been to Scotswood Road for at least 10 years. I was visiting Vickers Defence or whatever they were called at the time ;-) I agree with you that Armstrong was probably doing the best with the information he had at the time.

It's only when we hear of people like Titus Salt of Saltaire that we formulate ideas about the past. Lord Armstrong was probably only doing the best he could with the information he had. Scotswood road these days is a celebration of car showrooms :-) that demonstrate modern technology. Cragside and Scotswood road (then) were like chalk and cheese.

I was watching a National Trust program earlier today, it is highlighting 6 of their properties. One of them is Cragside and the former chief gardener was waxing lyrical over both Lord and Lady Armstrong. I think perhaps he would be dismayed at the state of the world if he came back today.
