Contrasting a selection of forty-five archive images alongside modern photographs taken from the same location, this new book reveals the changing faces, buildings and streets of Newcastle during the last century. Comparing the workers of yesteryear with today’s trades-people, along with some famous landmarks and little-known street scenes, this is a wide-ranging look at the city’s absorbing history. Newcastle Then & Now will provide visitors with a glimpse of how the city used to be, in addition to awakening nostalgic memories for those who live or work here.
