Iconic Newcastle / Gateshead Cufflinks

After London this was the first of the Iconic Cities that I photographed. It is the place of my birth and I still have family there. I remember as a child when we were travelling back home from a jaunt down south to see my dad’s half of the family I would know we were home when I saw (and we crossed) the Tyne Bridge. The Angel and The Baltic of course were not there then (well the Baltic was but of course as a flour mill) but they are both wonderful additions to Tyneside (they are of course on the Gateshead side of the river).
