Tourist sign, pointing to various tourist attractions and other places.
Who can tell me where this sign is? It’s in, at or around one of the major sights on Newcastle. (If you know, keep quiet and let others have a guess!)
(Trinity House is mentioned on the sign, as mentioned yesterday.)

This is a very short distance from the Quayside. D (the hubby) says ten seconds; I say a minute. Either way, it’s not exactly far. It’s incredibly quiet; you can’t hear any traffic. It’s another reminder of how Newcastle can change from industrial to country within a few steps. Part of what makes this city special.

On Pilgrim Street, looking towards Swan House roundabout (Swan House is now 55 degrees North, a place where rich people live - but it’s effectively the middle of a roundabout, albeit a very expensive one). Taken on an August evening while out with friends.
