Mike was asking for a picture of Milburn House on Friday. I was going to keep this one for a while, but seeing as he asked so politely….
I never would have thought of framing the building with the bridge like this. This shot was heavily inspired by this one at this too will pass, who you should all visit regularly if you value amazing photography. A picture of the interior and a little more information, here.

What a splendid building, it works well with the bridge as the frame!
Apparently there is a bust of Lord Collingwood above the door, he was born in a house which is where Milburn House is now. http://www.newcastlegateshead.com/media/Castle_Quays.pdf
Also B, the Victoria Tunnels will be open for public visits in April (see p.10):-

Hi Beth; thanks for your kind comment; I have at last got around to putting a link to your blog on my own; best wishes, Charles
Charles - every time I am pleased with a shot I go over to your blog and find that that bar has been raised so high I can’t even see it. But your photos give me such pleasure that I can’t find myself disheartened. Thank you for the link. I don’t really link anywhere from here but have linked you from my own blog at watching geordie life. Thanks for the comment here!
