Why rodents get into Newcastle upon Tyne homes.
Heaton, Fenham and Sandyford are full of Tyneside flats, pairs of upper and lower flats in a terrace with separate front doors. Jesmond and Gosforth add larger Victorian and Edwardian houses, many converted.
Back lanes lined with bins, shared yards and old drains are where we find the most activity. In a Tyneside flat, the upper and lower flats share the same structure, so the route in may start in the other flat or under the building.
