Customer Reviews

Finally, a totally satisfying book on Newcastle
A monumental and soundly researched work which brings into evidence the wealth and range of architecture in one of the UK's most attractive big industrial cities. Newcastle is a surprising discovery for those who don't know it. Splendidly imposing late-Georgian thoroughfares like Grey Street, widely recognised as one of Europe's finest city streets, spectacular bridges spanning the River Tyne, and state-of-the art modern architecture such as the tilting Millennium Bridge and the Sage Music Centre on the Gateshead bank of the river, are presented along with the most significant buildings from all periods of history, all beautifully illustrated with detailed descriptions from highly qualified experts. I highly recommend this book to all those interested in Britain's architectural and industrial heritage and congratulate the publishers Bluecoat for this and a similar enterprise on the city of Liverpool, currently being reprinted.
