March 26, 2010 - Answer - Nobles Amusements, Northumberland Street

doorway

Did you guess correctly? This coat of arms is hidden under signs on Northumberland Street, on the entrance to what is now an amusement arcade. Isn’t it a shame that it’s so well hidden?

March 25, 2010 - Coat of Arms

coat-of-arms

Bit of a competition today. Does anyone know where this coat of arms can be found?

It’s pretty well hidden. I’ll be impressed if anyone can find it! If noone has any ideas, I’ll post a hint about lunchtime or early afternoon.

Answer tomorrow!

March 23, 2010 - 1881

1881

This is just off Northumberland Street, on what I think is called Prudhoe Chare (outside the Northumberland Arms). (The definition of Chare is here if you are interested - it’s a dialect word for a narrow street or alley.) I’ve no idea what the heads or the ‘1881′ represent - can anyone enlighten me?

There are two more pics - one shows a few more plaques here and the other (a bit dark but shows them all) is here.
