NZ2464 : Helix-form Car Park in Newcastle City Centre
taken 14 years ago, near to Newcastle Upon Tyne, England
Helix-form Car Park in Newcastle City Centre
This unusual car park has a road winding through it in a helix, (rather than a spiral); cars are parked on the outside of that road at right angles to it. By driving to the top of the building a bridge is reached, (grey in the picture), which gives access to the roof car park of the city's John Lewis department store from which the photo was taken.
Newcastle's 'new' co-op was built on Newgate Street in 1932. Although 'art decor' in style, it gave more than a nod to Egypt where Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb had just taken place. See http://www.timmonet.co.uk/html/newcastle_co-op.htm
