Nowhere to Walk

This walkway in Newcastle used to be attached to the Queen's Wharf Tower and also to the walkway over the road to Hunter Street, but both the tower and the walkway have been removed now so it now stands alone.

Looks an odd place, wondering what it is?

@busylady I explained above that it used to attached to the Queen's Wharf Tower and a walkway over the road and railway line to Hunter Street but now both the walkway and the tower have been removed so this structure now has nowhere to go and stands alone.

[Diana]

How most unusual, is there nothing else they can use it for?

[Babs]

@ludwigsdiana I doubt it. The building behind it is a restaurant so they can't really demolish it as it is part of the wharf. Shame the tower and the walkway went though as now you have to risk the traffic and trams instead of having a safe walkway to Hunter Street

Sad it’s not put to use a nice pic

[Issi Bannerman]

Strange set up. You'd think something could be done with it.

[Susan Wakely]

I thought that it was a shop for stairways.

[Peter]

Interesting they have chosen to save this little part of Newcastle history Babs:)

[Dione Giorgio]

Looks surreal. Lovely capture.

[Babs]

@pcoulson They have got rid of so many historic buildings in Newcastle over the last few years and yet the keep this useless monstrosity. I don't get the logic.

[Wylie]

So sad

[Kathy A]

That sure isn’t looking it’s best

[Beryl Lloyd]

So sad !

[Merrelyn]

What a strange thing to do.

[Kate]

Perhaps it's the beginning of a stairway to heaven!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

That is so interesting.

[Pam]

It seems to have been so useful. Such a shame they did that!

[Casablanca]

That is kind of weird, isn't it?

[KWind]

Very interesting!!

[Maria]

I like all these lines, they are so different!

[Fisher Family]

This sounds like an unusual survivor, perhaps it too will be demolished soon. An interesting shot!

[Yao RL]

Dead end?

[Corinne C]

Seems too bad as this building looks pretty new

[Kathy]

A nice ramp. Shame it couldn't be used to get to different levels inside.The building looks tall enough to have two or three.

@Dawn @jamibann @wakelys @sangwann @pusspup @kjarn @beryl @merrelyn @k9photo @mittens @pamalama @casablanca @kwind @maria03051 @fishers @yaorenliu @corinnec @randystreat It does look rather forlorn. I think it has been there for at least 35 years and they do seem to paint it regularly even though it is no longer in use

[Rick]

Interesting building. Nice capture.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It looks like a bunch of lines leading nowhere- too bad someone didn't think the demolition through before just leaving this poor thing to stand there doing nothing.

[Renee Salamon]

Great shot - I like the patterns in the grey, yellow and green

[Sam Sutlive]

@onewing Babs, so is the yellow part just a path to the roof now?
