March 07, 2010 Byker wall


A bit of an ecclectic view from the Sage car park in Gateshead - you can see on the left the back of the Sage and the very end of the Baltic art gallery - a glimpse of the River Tyne with what looks like a big red & white ski jump behind it that is past of the Byker wall. The apartments on the right are new developments on the Gateshead Quayside. The Byker Wall is currently to be revamped having been built in mid 1970s by the architect Ralf Erskine - the Evening Chronicle published this article on the Wall which features some excellent photographs of old pictures of the wall.
