Publisher's Synopsis
Newcastle is one of Britain's most vibrant and hospitable cities, a mix of ancient and modern with a skyline as distinctive as New York and a contemporary culture the equal of any in Europe. The photographs in this book were taken over a period of three months, from late winter to early summer. Tony Hopkins has caught the spirit of Newcastle/Gateshead in a single heartbeat: the choice of material is based on the most exciting, beautiful and essential features of one of Britain's favourite cities.
