The complex contains these strange double chimneys of which you just get the occasional glimpse from the passing roads and I have no idea of their function. I was going to drive in and have a look round but the high security on the gate put me off (it's like approaching a military establishment). This is sad as the complex contains several listed buildings (built for the Newcastle Board of Guardians for the care of children) in 1903 by the architects Leeson. At least we have a photo by Brian Norman from 2005 Image Not really a place to turn up and report a missing cat (with a camera about your person). I think the police hide in there to stop you reporting crime.
