Newcastle

On a drizzly Friday, we caught the train to Newcastle. We saw the well known bridges, the Grey Monument and the shopping street. Too rainy to stay long so headed back to Morpeth. Found a cute wool shop and enjoyed a chat to the lovely lady who runs it.

We stayed in an old courthouse/prison in Morpeth. It was quite interesting and there was a framed article on the wall in the apartment telling about the building's history. This photo makes it look very flash! The garden in front is a park across the busy road!

These are a couple of other views of the town.
