Sea Song Sang.

On the lower Ouseburn, (a tributary of the River Tyne) is an 1870's warehouse which originally stored grain and flour for the adjoining mill.
Renovation of this building was completed in 2005 when all seven floors were brought back into use as a home for Seven Stories, the Centre for Children's books.
It is the only place in the UK that actively collects material by British children's writers and illustrators.Vistitors enjoy exhibitions, performances, events and activities that reveal the working lives of authors and illustrators and the wonderful stories they tell.
Sea Song Sang is the Seven Stories boat. It was built by artist and boat builder Andy Comley. Andy and the children from nine schools in NE England imagined a magical story boat and the journeys it might take. It is built from recycled materials and is solar powered.
