Description: | A street seller is attempting to sell song (ballad) sheets to a well-dressed grumpy looking man, though she also has to hold her baby. She has the songs pinned to a canvas sheet that she can roll up and take away. Behind a temporary fence, repair work is taking place on the Black Gate. This had been the gatehouse of Newcastle's medieval castle. In the 19th century, it was filled with many poor families living in one or two rooms, until the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle upon Tyne took over the building in 1883. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1884 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Ralph Hedley | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
