Green’s Balloon at Newcastle
"Green’s Balloon" got its name from the rather obvious fact that it was a balloon, flown by a Mr Green. It took to the skies over Newcastle four times in the Spring/Summer of 1825 and three times in September 1831. This in itself was a remarkable achievement in the days when travel was usually by foot, or horse, or by 1831 rail, but rail was still restricted to a few small areas of the country.
==Details==
At the time there were a family of Balloonists from London, Charles Green, who flew from London to Weilburg, Duchy of Nassau (Germany) in 1836 and by the time he retired in 1852, he had flown in a balloon more than 500 times. He had a son George who was born in 1807 and made 83 ascents. It is not certain that this family are the ones making the Newcastle ascents.
The ascents were recorded in short comments in both Allan's Illustrated Edition of Tyneside Songs and Readings of 1891 (on page 222) and France's Songs of the Bards of the Tyne – 1850 (on page c331).
