The Swirle Pavilion, Quayside
Image: © Andrew Curtis Taken: 24 Jan 2010
The Swirle Pavilion, with its golden globe, is part folly and part sculpture Image It was made by Raf Fulcher in 1998. The names around the inside are some of the cities with which Newcastle regularly traded from boats on the Quayside. The Swirle, and the short street that runs down towards it, are named after the Swirle (or Squirrel) Burn, now hidden, which used to separate the two towns of Newcastle and Byker.
