Building sights in Newcastle

There's a huge amount of development going on to the west of Newcastle city centre, much of it associated with the university - departmental buildings and accommodation. The tallest building in the image, (under construction), is Hadrian's Tower, an apartment block and now the highest in the city. Interestingly, the Cathedral of St. Nicholas can just be seen to the left of Hadrian's Tower; it was, according to Wikipedia, the city's tallest building for 396 years.
