Streets in the sky, Newcastle, 2024

A concrete pedestrian footbridge with graffiti crosses above a small, wet parking lot with parked cars. Tall trees line the lot, and modern glass buildings and a brick structure are visible in the background under a cloudy sky.

A multi-level, brutalist brick parking garage with graffiti, including a prominent “SHARE SPOTS” tag, stands next to a road with two parked cars. Trees and cloudy skies are in the background; the foreground shows a concrete barrier.

A covered, abandoned walkway with brick walls and a tiled floor is littered with trash and debris. Graffiti covers the walls on both sides, and a large, colorful tag is visible at the far end. Natural light filters in from the open front.

A large, abandoned brick building with six floors has many broken and boarded-up windows, most covered with faded blue, yellow, and white boards covered in graffiti. Sunlight partially shines on the building. A street runs beneath an overpass at ground level.

Northumbria University campus, Newcastle, 2024

A modern building with a grid of reflective windows occupies most of the image. At street level, there is a black awning labeled café central. Two leafy trees are partially visible on either side. The sky is overcast.

A close-up view of a gray, multi-story building facade, showing several rows of rectangular windows. The windows vary between open, closed, and partially covered with blinds. The building exterior looks aged, with a grid pattern of window frames.

Bridges, Newcastle, 2024

A curved, wet sidewalk runs beside a fenced road with traffic lights. Overhead, two concrete bridges cross above the street. Trees with green leaves line the right side, and the sky is overcast with gray clouds, suggesting recent rain.

Bridges, bridges, bridges, bridges!

Newcastle Civic Centre & details, 2024

A person with a backpack stands on a brick plaza in front of a modern building with a cylindrical structure and a rectangular wing. A large wall sculpture of a figure is visible between the two sections under a cloudy sky.

A view looking down a concrete stairwell with angular turns and metal railings. The stairs are weathered, and shadows obscure the lower levels, giving a sense of depth and geometric patterns formed by the steps and rails.

A narrow passageway between two brick buildings features a tall, greenish, weathered copper panel above the entrance. The panel has a patterned, rectangular texture. Trees and a pathway are visible through the passage in the background.

A tall, modern building with a concrete tower featuring a green metal sculpture on top stands beside a glass office block. The sky is overcast. In the foreground, there is a geometric metal sculpture, and brick buildings are partially visible to the left.

A large window set in a gray stone building reflects trees and another building. Above the window are old, worn blinds. A white security camera is centered above the glass. In front, a metal railing runs along a brick walkway.

A grey, overcast day outside a modern building with vertical metal slats and large windows. Two white vans are parked in a lot with yellow lines. A person walks near an entrance, and a tall, windowed building stands on the left.

A concrete staircase with white railings leads to a closed entrance of a gray building. A sign at the top of the stairs reads: ATTENTION DOORS LOCKED THIS ENTRANCE IS NOW CLOSED. The sky is overcast and the area appears deserted.

A closed, dark wooden garage door with vertical slats is set into a grey stone wall. The door has a small overhang and a rectangular light fixture above. The surrounding ground is paved with concrete tiles, some areas mossy or weathered.

A passageway with marble steps and a green handrail leads to a modern metallic gate with vertical, irregularly spaced bars. Fluorescent lights are set in the ceiling above, and part of a person’s head is visible in the lower right corner.

My iPhone’s camera really can’t convey the heft of those double main doors at the end. It’s definitely a tactile experience, not a visual one.

I also suggested to my boyfriend that we get married here, on the strength of its’ modernist credentials, and he literally did not dignify that question with a response. 😒

Hadrian Bridge, Newcastle, 2024

A concrete pedestrian bridge with circular windows and a Newcastle University sign spans over a curved road. Bicycles are parked under a shelter on the left, trees and cloudy sky are in the background, and a metal fence runs along the foreground.

The rather pompously named, but still pleasant, Hadrian Bridge, over Newcastle’s Central Motorway.

This may be a good time to shout out Newcastle University’s Co-Curate website, which has come in extremely useful when factchecking (believe it or not, I do bother), and comes with a very rich library of pictures of buildings in the city, which came in useful when researching my one building across three eras post a few weeks ago.
