December 29, 2008 - gold seahorse benches

I love the gold seahorses on the sides of the benches down Northumberland Street.  They’re part of the City Council’s coat of arms.

December 28, 2008 - Eldon Square Bus Station

It’s been open about 18 months now, but to the best of my knowledge there’s never been a picture posted of the new bus station at Eldon Square at Newcastle Daily Photo.  The bus concourse that used to run under Eldon Garden has been shut for a while now and this has replaced it.  At the back it links through St George’s Way into the Eldon Square extension that comes out at the other side of Old Eldon Square, directly into Starbucks and Waitrose (here’s a press release about Waitrose opening) and near Strada and Wagamama.  You can also come out next to the entrance to John Lewis.

Links about the bus station here and here.
