Description: | Westgate Street has been the main western route to Newcastle for centuries. The remains of the medieval town wall can be seen on the left of the view. The important West Gate once stood here. Inside the walls is the medieval church of St John the Baptist. The view shows the scene before Grainger Street was built in 1836-37, forming a junction with Westgate Street beside St John's. The Norman castle keep and the spire of St Nicholas' Church can be seen in the background. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | artists buildings and views art North East artists Newcastle | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
