Old and New Newcastle

Over the last few days I have posted various pictures of Newcastle, old, new and in between so here is a combination of old and new.

The building on the left is the rear of the new Newcastle University building and on the right is part of the old university building and the bottom half of the building is minus the cladding.

I must take a photo of the front of the old building next time I go to Newcastle, its art deco design is quite impressive.

Sorry I am a bit absent at the moment I have had a very busy week and I am out most of the weekend too. I will try and catch up this evening.

To me - its a bit of a hotch potch !! The glass link extension looks so precarious hanging on there !!

[Diana]

Rather unusual building styles colliding there. I like the many different textures and colours.

[Lou Ann]

I think the architect did the best he could, there’s no way to have new, modern and old look any other way. I’m actually glad he left the old brick exposed in that way.

[Casablanca]

I like the bottom bit best!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Lots of great shapes and textures in this.

[ChristineL]

They look a bit odd but I quite like the way the old and new are joined together.

[Peter H]

I love that meeting of the two eras. Quite dramatic.

Great captures of the old and new architectural details

[Islandgirl]

Nice textures!

[Jane Pittenger]

Great contrasts and detail

[Denise (lyndemc)]

The brick portion catches my eye the most; I like brickwork.

[Valerie Chesney]

I am always so pleased when some of the 'old' part is saved. Great mix of architecture.

[Marnie]

Great use of contrast here Babs, good to see the old preserved.
