The front entrance to the quadrangle on the campus of Newcastle Uni is through these arches.
The tower and building above were erected in 1911 in honur of King Edward VII and his statue still looks out over the campus today. The notice boards within the arches contain university notices, exam timetables and results (undergraduate only)!

In honour of Woolworth’s final day of trading.
I wonder what the fate of this retail park in Newcastle (Byker, to be precise) will be now that Woolworths, one of the biggest shops on it, has closed.
I took these photos on Saturday after this store’s final day of trading, Friday 2nd Jan. The trolley’s line ‘let’s have some fun’ seemed so poignant that I had to take a record of it.
After taking these pictures I went to Wallsend, which was still open. I went in, but even though there were still some items left, it felt too sad to buy anything.
And on a brighter note: Please click through to the BBC for a gallery of my favourite images from the site for 2008.

Killingworth isn’t a Township any more, but this sign is still in Benton.

For those who haven’t been to Eldon Square since the alterations were made that I talked about here, I thought I’d post this photo. It’s a bit further up from where I took yesterday’s photo.
The escalator down is where the John Lewis cafe used to be that was kind of mushroom-shaped.
