Description
|
|
The old city of Newcastle is still retained within its ancient city walls, and the 'new' Norman castle, which gave the city its name, was built on the site of a Roman fort constructed to guard an important crossing of the River Tyne. The Tyne is still the thread which holds the city together, with Newcastle occupying the northern side and Gateshead the south. Newcastle's famous bridges - from the emblematic Tyne Bridge to the High Level rail and road bridge and the latest addition, the 'Winking Eye' Millennium Bridge - are the links which unite the city. Tyneside has also seen the rebirth of Newcastle, with the Baltic Contemporary Arts Centre and Quayside developments bringing a startling new look to the riverside where once great liners were built. The extensive Town Moor is still grazed by cattle and offers a green space close to the city centre. Tony Hopkin's Portrait of Newcastle is a snapshot in time - most of the photographs were taken during four springtime months, but they show a vibrant, lively city which has reinvented itself from a grim, industrial past
