An iconic Toon building for more than 800 years. Easy to capture minus pedestrians, parked cars & discarded rubbish you say? Go on then, try it for yourself sometime :) @NewcastleCastle @altweet_pet @NGinitiative @NE1BID @OSleisure @NewcastleCC

Youβd be forgiven for thinking it was Cornwall, or Devon or perhaps Brittany. The answer is of course somewhere much nicer than all 3 :) @StormHour @nationaltrust @EnglishHeritage @northcoastaonb @discovernland @NT_TheNorth @VisitNlandbiz @OSleisure @VisitEngland @NaturalEngland

Knitting was part of Herring Girl culture. We want to represent this with a display of knitted herrings. If you are a knitter can you add a fish to our net? Here is the pattern

The sun is shining in the North East today, after a few days of pretty wild weather.
I'm so excited about getting back out into the Toon again and exploring with visitors as soon as we are able to.

What an amazing shot of #DurhamCathedral, reposted from @stevielandscapes It is almost 1000 years old and was built to house the relics of St Cuthbert.
The American author Bill Bryson visited and called it the
'best little Cathedral on planet Earth '

And finished. The final edit from my recent @TheatreRoyalNew forays. Pin-sharp with oodles of usage potential as a 300MB composite image. And no signs to ruin the view. A truly wonderful building in an even greater City :) @altweet_pet @NewcastleCC @NGinitiative @Tynetoinvest

It was a slightly damp tour around Chesters today, but I had the pleasure of working with Robson Green on his walk along Hadrian's wall. Rain did not stop play!

Let's hope this leads to an increase in visitors, once it is safe to travel and lockdown is over.

it's #EnglishTourismWeek20 celebrating all that is good about England.
In the far north, one of my favourite places to take visitors is #HadriansWall- but it was never the border between #England and #Scotland. Come and find out more with me when lockdown is over @BBGuides

#BarnardCastle has had plenty of famous visitors-Richard III Oliver Cromwell #JohnWesley #CharlesDickens
But perhaps the most notorious visitor will be a more recent one- a quick thinking local has erected a very special Blue Plaque this week #DominicCummngs

Are you missing the Barker Research Library? Here is a #TBT of how the room looked when it was the University Law library and how it looked recently pre-lockdown. Our digitised archives can be accessed online through this link dur.ac.uk/library/asc/collec⦠#FamilyTree #ArchivesAtHome

This week marks 100 years since the death of Frank Matcham who
designedΒ many of the finest theatres in Britain. Newcastle Theatre Royal is one of the best.
Once there were over 100 - there are only around 20 left.
