Recruits in the Great Hall, Discovery Museum

from North East Museums

• Billy Embleton said:

  This hall is exactly today as it is in this image. Almost untouched, and some size. One of Newcastle's best kept secrets.

Desert Dream caravan on the road, 1950

  My favorite writer's studio since the XV century ;-)

Naval gun mounting at the Elswick Works

from North East Museums

• A.Davey said:

  Interesting text and great photo - thanks! Looking back, it's tempting to say that countries are better off when they're the workshops of the world than under post-industrial economies.

• Billy Embleton said:

  Could be a turret for the battleship HMS Monarch as that was under construction at Elswick in 1911.

• optimal chicken said:

  Oh wow this is a fantastic photo! Very atmospheric! I kinda forgot these things are assembled 'dirty' and then dismantled, painted and placed onto a ship..

• Billy Embleton said:

  13.5 inch calibre Paul. Monarch mounted 10 of these guns in 5 turrets. As a footnote the Japanese battleships Yamato & Musashi mounted the largest guns in history at 18 inch calibre. The armoured plates on the turret faces were 25 inches thick.

• optimal chicken said:

  That's madness Billy. Mind saying that, it's how warfare was carried out on the seas then. Now it's missiles and aircraft..
