Normally you can see Vulcan outside this building in Central Square, but currently he’s on tour around the UK(!). This sculpture (well worth clicking through to that link) is called DNA DL90 and it’s by Abigail Fallis. For another great pic, click here. Also see here.
I’ll try and get a better shot before this is replaced by something else - there will be a series of works in this space while Vulcan tours the UK. My husband took this hanging out of the car after a night in the Telegraph, so sorry if it’s blurry :)

This is the oldest pub in Newcastle, built in 1691, and there is an original fireplace from that decade in one of the rooms. It was a stopoff for carriages between London and Edinburgh, and it used to have double decker stables for the horses - there was a platform for them to walk up to get to the top level.
It was named for King George, not St George, so the iron sign depicting George and the Dragon is misleading….

This building has been featured quite a few times, but it’s such an interesting building that it has want of many posts. It’s hard to wrap your head around what it really looks like from photo’s, and these two are both sides (east and west) of the building. I think both are new.
