Haymarket Metro Station escalator shaft

from North East Museums

• Paul W L Jones said:

  Something odd to the top right of the photo? Can you explain - cheers - Paul

• Joseph Kelly said:

  Odd is an understatement! The figure is very static (see left hand) but very translucent, standing between steps, and entirely at the wrong angle (ie, leaning backwards about 30 degrees.) If this were a 'genuine' person moving about in the image they would be blurred, but translucence without movement is impossible and thie effect shown can only be achieved by a double exposure. (I'm a press photographer of 40 years experience).

• Joseph Kelly said:

  I've just downloaded this image and magnified it, and things get even stranger. Above the person's head tucked to the right of the escalator is an fuzzy 'phallic' object that doesn't have the same focus qualities of its surrounding objects, so doesn't belong in this image either. A private joke of some sort?

Gateshead Metro Station

from North East Museums

• Robert Clark said:

  It's amazing to see the different shape of the tunnels here, as opposed to those under Newcastle city centre, which were the proper round shape. No doubt this unusual shape was partly due to the ground conditions, with old mineworkings.

• Rhubus said:

  Gateshead Station was a difficult one. Old coal mine workings hindered progress and at one point a pour of concrete was lost as it dropped into a passage below! As Robert says - the tunnel will be to suit the ground conditions at that location.
