Tyne Bridges photograph was taken beside some new apartments, looking down across the Newcastle Gateshead Quayside at sunset. From this viewpoint you can see the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, the Tyne Bridge, the High Level Bridge and the Swing Bridge. The lights inside the Sage Gateshead building can also be seen on the left of the photograph. There is a clear reflection in the River Tyne from the lights under the walkway part of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, linking the Baltic Arts Centre and the Sage on the Gateshead side of the Tyne to the Newcastle side of the river.

The Angel of the North this photograph was taken on a bright, colourful summers afternoon. The statue of the Angel is surrounded on both sides by tree branches. The branches are catching the afternoon light and provide a warm colour contrast against the bright blue of the sky and the large white cloud behind Antony Gormley’s creation. The Angel of the North, has quickly become an iconic image of the North East and is recognised all over the world.

Tyne Bridge is a dramatic photograph of the Tyne Bridge and the Newcastle Gateshead Quayside taken at twilight. The sun has set, leaving a dark sky, contrasting against the artificial lights. The lights inside the span of Tyne Bridge really make it standout against the dark of the sky. The traffic and figures on the quayside footpath and road give this photograph a real sense of life and movement.

Grey’s Monument is in the heart of Newcastle. Grey’s Monument was built to commemorate Earl Grey, a local politician who was British Prime Minister from 1830 to 1834. The monument was erected to acclaim Earl Grey, for the passing of the Great Reform Act of 1832 and stands at the head of Grey Street. It consists of a statue of Lord Grey standing atop a Roman Doric column on a pedestal of local sandstone, the Monument is 135-foot-high (41 m) in total.

The coasters will be packed in a strong card mailing box and are posted on a Signed For service. International orders are posted Tracked.
