Seen from Hadrian's Way at Wincomblee.

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

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

From Hadrian's Wall Path

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.

Old railway bridge at Wincomblee in Walker. The left arch is Mitchell Street, the middle arch is a road leading down under White Street to the works on the Tyne and the right arch is the rear entrance to Wincomblee Workshops.

Seen at its junction with White Street, as viewed from the former railway bridge.

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.
