 Hidden gem of a gallery |
9 The Side Quayside Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear NE1 3JE United Kingdom +44 191 232 2208 |
Tucked away above a second hand bookshop in an alley near the Quayside, this gallery is well worth taking the trouble to find if you are interested in exhibitions of high quality photography. Enter through the Newcastle Bookshop, and climb some steep and rickety wooden stairs to the compact, one-room gallery space. The sparse and spartan surroundings (white walls and bare floors) leave all your concentration free for the show. The well-lit, well laid-out photographs may exhibit the work of a single artist, or illustrate some theme. Photographers from all over the world have been represented here. Admission: free Unfortunately the aforementioned steep stairs make access difficult for anyone with mobility problems. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Go the whole hog in this huge pub |
Great North Road Gosforth Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear NE3 2DS United Kingdom |
This is probably one of the biggest pubs you will have ever been in. The huge building stands alone in the middle of a car park that would put many shopping centres to shame. There is a bar with two pool tables, and a large lounge that is divided into several distinct areas. There is also a separate restaurant area. There is an extensive menu of bar meals, and portions are generous, especially in an offering called The Whole Hog. Do not ask what is in this meal, but if you can finish it you will have to be wheeled out. The pub hosts regular live music, and has a quiz on Tuesdays. Review © 2007, Wcities |
