Its Days Are Numbered

I took this photo a few weeks ago in the old part of Newcastle. It was about to be demolished to make way for a new apartment block. I suspect that now it has already gone, so I must go back and see what progress has been made.

Good shot. Many old buildings like this disappearing here as well. Cranes everywhere. I think it's really worth documenting because I, for one, quickly lose my sense of how the urban landscape used to be.

[Dawn]

A great shot it’s days must be numbered

[Diana]

Well captured, it seems to have been that way for quite some time. It would be interesting to see what takes its place.

[Boxplayer]

Love this old decrepitude

[Rob Z]

You image shows it so well - not a building to be greatly mourned for...

[Issi Bannerman]

I can see why. It's a great photo!

[Kathy A]

To be replaced by some ultra modern building unfortunately

[Susan Wakely]

It’s not pretty. Let’s hope that it is replaced by something of interest and not bland modernism.

[Joan Robillard]

Good capture

[Dione Giorgio]

Well spotted. Good capture but not a lovely scene, I must say.

[Lou Ann]

Some buildings need to be saved; this one looks pretty rough though.

[Mags]

Looking a little old for sure. Great shot!

[Brian]

OMW

[AnnabelleQ]

Makes me sad. Wonderful capture.

[Renee Salamon]

This building has seen its day for sure

[Christine Sztukowski]

Fantastic angle of attack

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wonderful shapes and textures.

[PhotoCrazy]

NIce pic!

[Merrelyn]

Looks like it's seen better days.

[Nigel Rogers]

Looks well past its sell by date!

[bkb in the city]

Looks like it was ready to fall down

[carol white]

It does look very decrepit

[KoalaGardens🐨]

that's one ugly building!

[Peter]

Interesting lines and patterns captured here Babs:)

[haskar]

Yet it still looks so proud. He stands like a warrior.

[Yao RL]

Soon it will be a history and you got it.

[Islandgirl]

Oh my interesting building and pov!

[Tunia McClure]

It looks tired and ready to go.

@tunia Thanks. There are some beautiful old buildings in Newcastle, but this isn't one of them, so I don't think it will be missed.

[Shutterbug]

It does look a bit rough. I hope they put up something nice or interesting.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I guess it was more cost effective to raze it and build new instead of refurbishing the old. There are some interesting patterns and textures going on here- I guess by now they're gone. Good catch!

[Sue Cooper]

This has definitely seen better days.

[Rick]

Cool capture.

[Kathy]

I like this shot. I like the repetition of the pattern of the windows and the grittiness of the building.

[Dorothy]

Has certainly seen better days.

Sad looking building
