Armstrong Whitworth opened the Walker Naval Yard in 1912 and this impressive building is now thankfully restored as office units. Update: This building was demolished in 2014.

On Mitchell Street, which is just west of White Street in Low Walker. Viewed from the Hadrian's Wall Path.

Hadrian's Way is the name given to a largely traffic-free path which runs between western to eastern boundaries of the City of Newcastle. At its eastern end (as here) the Way follows the line of a disused railway. The Way is followed by both Hadrian's Wall National Trail http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/hadrianswall/ and by route 72 of the National Cycle Network (Hadrian's Cycleway http://www.cycle-routes.org/HADRIANSCYCLEWAY/and the Tynemouth branch of the C2C Cycle Route http://www.c2c-guide.co.uk/). The blue structure is a National Cycle Network milepost http://www.sustrans.org.uk/default.asp?sID=1132763167625, one of a thousand donated to the NCN project by the Royal Bank of Scotland. This specimen is one of the "Welsh" design by Andrew Rowe, and takes its inspiration from the industrial and nautical heritage of the artist's home in Swansea. An alternative explanation is that it is derived from a Welsh love-spoon. Mileposts are often found painted in different colours according to local initiative.

Hadrian's Way is the name given to a traffic-free route along the north bank of the Tyne between western and eastern boundaries of the City of Newcastle. At its eastern end, the Way follows the course of a disused railway. The Way is followed by both Hadrian's Wall National Trail http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/hadrianswall/ and by route 72 of the National Cycle Network (Hadrian's Cycleway http://www.cycle-routes.org/HADRIANSCYCLEWAY/and the Tynemouth branch of the C2C Cycle Route http://www.c2c-guide.co.uk/).

There used to be commercial premises on this site, but the buildings have clearly been demolished. The distant greenery is on the other side of the River Tyne.

With around 85 miles done and only one to go, some are jockeying for the first one to finish.
