Gateshead has often been portrayed as the 'poor relative' of its
larger and more glamorous Tyneside neighbour Newcastle. But
Gateshead has a long and proud industrial and social history, much
of which has sadly gone, but in recent years there has been a
revival in Gateshead's social and cultural infrastructure, which
has placed it firmly on the tourist map. This extraordinary history
is embodied in the rich Victorian architecture that has shaped the
town. Gateshead in 50 Buildings explores the town's history through
a selection of its greatest architectural treasures. From the
fairy-tale Saltwell Tower to the stunning new Millennium Bridge and
Baltic Arts Centre, this unique study celebrates Gateshead's
architectural heritage in a new and accessible way. Local author
Rob Kirkup guides the reader on a tour of the town's historic
buildings and modern architectural marvels.
