Newcastle harbor Brett's Oil (#1194)

Piecing together information from various sites, including a picture of the other side from Google Streetview, here's what I figured out. The buildings on the Gateshead side of the river are the former Brett's Oils that had been suppliers of lubricants to Newcastle industry since 1877. The company was sold in 2006 and then closed, and there have been various plans to develop the site ever since, but apparently none of them came to fruition. The buildings provide an interesting view from here, hopefully then can be incorporated into whatever ends up over there.
