Description: | This view shows a busy crowd of ships drawn up in front of the medieval buildings of the Quayside in Newcastle in the 1830s. Wealthy merchants originally lived on the Quayside. By this time, however, the buildings were occupied by groups of families living in slum conditions. The Grey Horse Inn and a large area around were later destroyed in the terrible fire of 6th October 1854. George Balmer was a leading Newcastle painter of shipping scenes. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East transport North East artists Newcastle people | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
