Crikey. I didn't realise it took so long to build the Civic Centre. I can't see Jim Merrington sat in his Tyne Brewery office.

Power station beside the brewery? Or could it simply be a large boiler house for the brewing process??

If your talking the building with the two chimneys on Corporation Street, I think it was something to do with the brewing. You Could look in the windows as you walked past.

Newcastle City Library flkr phtostream states this was taken in July 1884 on Westgate Road, who is right?

Thanks for pointing this out, looking into it now.

Thanks.

Johnson Hedley (1851-1913) was the younger brother of Tyneside artist and woodcarver Ralph Hedley (1848-1913), . Johnson was also an artist, as well as a confectionary wholesaler and retailer, and he specialised in landscape paintings.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful photo
for all to see.

Blimey there's so much going on in this one! Probaby the best angle I've seen on Newcastle City - with some added Westerly parts too. Thanks for sharing.

Great view! 1977, the year Jimmy Carter spoke Geordie and the Queen opened Eldon Square. Is that a Triumph Bonneville Jubilee in Ken's window on Westgate Hill? Thanks
