We went up to Newcastle for a site visit, maybe a month ago, and had some time to kill before the flight back down South. A great city, with a strong heritage. Not to mention a high concentration of quality architecture at the river! Give London a run for it’s money, that’s for sure. We saw Foster’s The Sage Gateshead, Wilkinson Eyre’s Gateshead Millenium Bridge, and The Baltic Gallery. Even managed a quick tipple from the gallery bar, great views. Even though it was cloudy and rainy, it was still stunning.
