While in Newcastle recently, on two different occasions, I stopped to snap a couple of images. One is of Central Arcade a Victorian/Georgian covered shopping arcade It is one of the fantastic gems that makes Newcastle such a nice place to live.
The other picture is of the New Central Library in Newcastle. I was never a great fan of the old 1960s building that the new building replaces, but I was always impressed by the helpfulness of the staff. With the new building the city council have included new technology to make using the library a real pleasure and quick too.
While architecturally I doubt that it will be as loved as the Central Arcade is, it does fit into the cityscape well.
