Northumberland Road, which links Northumberland Street with John Dobson Street and beyond, is a pretty dull road. I’ve been wanting to post a pic of it for a while, but couldn’t make it interesting enough.
Then I went for a coffee in Costa Coffee (I usually frequent Starbucks, but it was too busy to get a seat that day) and spotted this shot. It looks pretty good like this :)
Just to keep you all up to date - I heard about the illumination of Hadrian’s Wall a few weeks back but someone had got their wires crossed and thought it had happened already. I’m really glad I’ve not missed it. I’ll be in Wallsend on Saturday night for the beginning.

The plaque reads:
Hadrian’s Wall.
Within this plot, covered by red concrete stand the lower courses of the south face of Hadrian’s Wall. Built first in A.D.122 from Newcastle upon Tyne to Bowness on Solway, and afterwards extended to Wallsend, a distance in all of 80 Roman miles.
And if you look closely, you can see a reflection of the Union Rooms that I recently featured.

This pic is of Neville Hall in the snow. It houses the Mining Institute.
Pics of some details of the building follow tomorrow.

Mark Toney’s on Grainger Street. I haven’t been there in years. I remember the last time I was there (I reckon about 9-10 years ago) I had a lovely mushroom omelette. (Yes, it was that nice. I should go back.)
