Section of the Town Walls, Newcastle
This section is on Newgate Street, next to St Andrew's Church. The walls were commenced in about 1265 and took a century to complete. Much of them was demolished in the early 19th century as Newcastle was rebuilt. There are some much more complete stretches to the west of here.
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
