After lunch in the Biscuit Factory, we went off to see the Laing Art Gallery. On the way, we came across a little church hall
and as you can see from the sign on the right (which I completely missed in the photo!) had an art exhibition. Well, we came for art, so decided to do a detour and see what was going on. It turned out to be a one-woman exhibition by one of the church’s congregation.
and this was the artist
Her arty bits were interesting, with lots of cut and folded canvasses
but I don’t think I’d have them on my wall. The artist lady was very nice and chatty so we wished her luck and went on our merry way.
We spotted a Lutheran Church for German-speaking Geordies
and back by the blue student accommodation, this time sneaking a peek in the windows
There are a couple of furniture shops in the area.
Newcastle has its own version of Boris Bikes
and plenty of cafes
We went back over the flyover and spotted a breakdown
and we peeked through the bars of the graffiti building corridor which is my featured image at the top of the post.
The New Bridge Hotel nearby. Probably not a 4 star 🙂
and then we got to the Laing gallery, but that can wait for the next post, so stay tooned for that!

You captured the vibe of the city. That mist added to the bricks and mundane buildings.

Omg. That bedroom set is INSANE!! How could anyone sleep in a room with that? You wouldn’t even need to keep the lights on! 🤣
I also love “Holy Biscuit” LMAO! That is just too funny!!

Interesting how different environments bring out different taste in things like art and furnishings….or perhaps we just see them differently.

I like the cut-out art, but it’s a bit too measured even for my taste.

Quite a variety of artwork you captured around in Newcastle. I actually very much enjoyed the work of Sarah Ann Davies. Could even had had a piece of hers on my wall. 🙂

Well that’s good to hear. I thought she had clever ideas and her pieces were well done. I hope she does well as she was lovely to talk to.

Great shots. That’s a menacing-looking corridor. We have our own version of Borris bikes in Brighton, but they’re a bit less garish in colour
