Across the river is of course Gateshead. Before the massive amount of building on the south side of the river(Sage,Baltic,Millenium bridge etc), this was possibly it’s biggest claim to fame. Many famous athletes from all over the world have competed here.

Our local radio station is situated bang in the middle of a roundabout! This building also has a bar and apartments(which I have shown you before). It plays very mainstream music but I listen to it when they are reporting on Newcastle United away games!

I like the idea of the disabled toilet being…disabled! An eyesore in the middle of our city and I dont ever remember these toilets been in use!

Sorry the pic is so ‘noisy’ but it was very dark and had to bump up the ISO.
