A street on the Gateshead side of the Quayside resembled a canal after a pipe burst.
Water could be seen running down Bottle Bank, near the Hilton hotel, and towards River Beat on Sunday afternoon. It ran all the way down to Pipewellgate where it built up under the High Level Bridge.
Hills Street, which is near the bridge, was completely submerged in water. Station East, a pub located on the road, posted on social media: "We're open now but you might need your canoe."
