Newcastle historic wall (#1182)

Opposite side of the wall shown in the adjacent photo, with gate to Chinatown in the distance. The tower (turret) with windows is Morden Tower. In the 1700’s the towers were used by crafts guilds, this one having been the hall of the Glaziers, Plumbers, Pewterers, and Painters; more recently the turret has become a location for poetry readings.

See nearby photo for the history (# 1178) of the wall.
