On top of the world, or Newcastle at least

January 30th, 2007 by Alistair MacDonald Leave a reply »

Yesterday I got a phone call to ask if I wanted to visit the roof of Newcastle’s CO-OP department store on Newgate street. The store is closing down and Westagte PAST, a local history project sponsored by the Local Heritage Initiative that I am associated with, is archiving images and tails from the store. A good brief history of the store in on this site.

Me being a mug for a good view I jumped a the chance and I am glad I did. There is a great view across the city and across the Tyne. I have uploaded some of the images here.
