June 14, 2010 - Kings Gate vs Newcastle University Students’ Union

A slightly cheeky shot today for those who don’t like the Kings Gate building that we discussed here a few months back. After taking this shot, I reckon it has its uses :)

June 13, 2010 - Mosely Street, Newcastle

Mosely Street was the first street in the UK to be lit with electricity.

And Sir Joseph Swan was the man behind it. You’d think the plaque would mention that too, wouldn’t you?

This pic is again close to 55 Degrees North - behind yesterday’s pic.
