Elswick Park & Pool
Looking up from the Westmorland Road end of the park towards the sports centre and swimming pool which re-opened on 1st October 2009 after a £1.1 million refurbishment.
Elswick Park was opened to the public in 1881. Elswick Hall, built in 1803, had been abandoned due to rising costs and was eventually demolished about 1980, its site used for the Pool. Tomlinson said that this park had much larger and older trees than Leazes Park. It had a lake, bowling green, rockery, a terrace in front of the aviaries, with a fine granite drinking fountain

Cruddas Park House, Westmorland Road, Newcastle
A big slab on a very large and low podium which incorporates shops. Built 1967-69.
Newcastle's four tallest buildings are all 1960s blocks of flats - this is the fourth, at 246 feet - which is pretty remarkable in this day and age.
