Derelict land, High Street, Gateshead
Not the best omen, on the high street. Alternatively, one could look upon it as a small nature reserve.
Though it looks like an office block, behind is a big block of flats, Regent Court, built in 1958.

Yet another vanquished pub, in another life the British Lion but now bereft of roar.
Behind is Warwick Court (Image]).

The Blue Bell, High Street, Gateshead
Decent little early C20th pub, polished granite ground floor, brick and stone above.
A sign advertised "a pub business to let", presumably this one.

Gateshead Highway, Gateshead
Lots of lovely concrete. The supports taper and the whole effect is quite dramatic.

The Metropole, High Street, Gateshead
Big Victorian pub, by William Hope, 1896. Two ornate gables, but the dark brick gives it a slightly dour look. On the up-side, as the sign advertises, it is open all day every day.
Originally it had a theatre too.

Warwick Court, Warwick Street, Gateshead
Flats, though it looks like offices. Probably dating from the 1970s.
The police station is next door.

Site awaiting development, Gateshead
The elevated road is heading towards the Tyne Bridge and Newcastle. Mid 20th century maps show a school here and probably housing as well.

Magistrates' Court and police station, Warwick Street, Gateshead
Evidently built as a single complex, I guess in the 1970s, windows recessed in bands behind dark red brick. The police station is the taller block behind.
