Reflections of Newcastle Gateshead Quaysides in the River Tyne
The Quayside flanks both sides of the River Tyne. In the past, the Quayside played a central part of Newcastle's industrial history and heritage, serving as a commercial dockside. Coal was also ferried down to the Quayside via the Victoria Tunnels, which are now a popular tourist attraction, while factories such as the Baltic Flour Mill and Hoults Yard pottery, which have both since been transformed, flourished nearby at Gateshead Quays and Ouseburn. After much of the industry moved on, the area underwent a huge regeneration in the early 2000s, and has since become a hub of arts and culture for the North East, as well as a home to many of the region's best bars and pubs

EDITORS COMMENTS
Reflections of Newcastle Gateshead Quaysides in the River Tyne capture the essence of a vibrant past and an exciting present. This print takes us on a journey through time, revealing the rich industrial history that once defined this iconic area. The Quayside, flanking both sides of the River Tyne, was once at the heart of Newcastle's bustling commercial dockside. It witnessed the transportation of coal through Victoria Tunnels, now a popular tourist attraction. Nearby factories like Baltic Flour Mill and Hoults Yard pottery thrived, leaving behind their legacy as they transformed into contemporary spaces at Gateshead Quays and Ouseburn. However, as industries shifted elsewhere, this historic region underwent a remarkable transformation in the early 2000s. The result? A stunning regeneration that turned it into an artistic and cultural hub for North East England. Today, it proudly houses renowned institutions such as Sage Gateshead and Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. This print beautifully captures not only architectural marvels like Gateshead Millennium Bridge but also reflects upon its surroundings – tranquil river waters mirroring these impressive structures with breathtaking clarity. The play between light and shadow creates mesmerizing reflections that seem to dance upon the surface. Phil Payne's skillful lens has immortalized this moment in time when artistry meets heritage against a backdrop of urban charm. As you gaze upon this print, you can almost feel yourself being transported to these quaysides – where creativity flourishes alongside centuries-old stories etched into every brick. Whether you're drawn to its historical significance or captivated by its modern allure, this photograph is sure to evoke emotions while serving as a reminder that even amidst change and progress, echoes from our past continue to shape our present.
