Everyone has mixed opinions on the Swanhouse roundabout area but I bloody LOVE it. By far one of the most fascinating parts of the city for me; loads of brutalist mixed with old school architecture - to me just embodies the exact vibe of the rest of the city

From my recent work trip to Milan. What a beautiful city.

Growing up in the west end I’ve always felt that it gets pushed to the side - no metro links, no venues for live music, much less government funding / support for new and emerging businesses - and sadly not much encouragement for a creative scene. Hopefully with time this changes; I’m already starting to see it a bit!

Do you guys prefer the really nice ornate architecture of places like Grey Street, or does the brutalist style have an equal place of love for you guys? I feel like the city has a really good measure of both!

Always found it a bit sad how many photos we take just end up sitting on our camera roll and so I nudged my arse to get them off the phone and into actual physical prints.

This is the entrance to Manors Car Park which I always thought has been weirdly lush despite it being objectively a bit grim 🤣

Curious if anyone else has any favourite “ugly but nice” spots around Newcastle to photograph?
