A view in Newcastle, 4-55pm one day 100 yrs ago outside the familiar Central Railway Station that we've all got the Train to at times rather than the Bus to smoky Worswick St.

Sorry, it is St. Nicholas Cathedral. The unique spire was called a lantern tower and used to guide ships into the Tyne. The design is called Crown and Bridge. St. Mary Le Bow in London copied the design.

The cathedral has been underpinned due to subsidence so it you want to know how much, look at the baptismal font. The hood is well out of alignment!

Used to work in Clavering Place so past by the Central Station most days, I remember watching the filming of Get Carter that was taking place there.
