Another shot of this splendid old structure.

Rington's still operate from this site but the lion's share of the building has been sold to an auctioneer's firm. A great building.

Hailed as a marvel of design, the Byker Wall was completed in 1976. Communities had their old homes demolished and were moved back into their new environment but they never recovered the community spirit they once had. The Byker Wall is now a listed building.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Narrow lanes threading the estate reluctantly allow access for cars, but little parking, which is kept to the periphery. View is north-east towards [[1776451]]

Dist:0.2km<br/>The Tyne bridges, the Baltic and the Sage can be seen to the left. Central Newcastle and St James' Park stadium are to the right, the latter above the wedge of nearby, Tom Collins House.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The church has been closed for several years and the surrounding area has been heavily vandalised. The neighbouring vicarage building was demolished for safety reasons. St Michael's Mount, on which the church stands, is a beautiful setting though, with a stand of mature trees, and views down to the Tyne and the Millennium Bridge.
