      That's a coincidence.. you had not put the title on when I left the comment this morning, if I knew the name of the Pub on the corner I would know which street that was!! The 'Crooked Billet' was my favourite name!!!

      that's funny. I was streaming the amber online, while you were writing your comment. I had the photo on my desk and didn't know where it was. So I had to find out to give it the title...Did you find some interesting views in your books?

      Thank you GunnerGirl!
      Rogerandcarol, this is it! Some marvellous photos in this album. Maybe I will do this one with the snow and fog too. I have also seen the Byker on the amber online and thank you for this drawing link of this japanese artist.. That looks interesting, I will explore it later.

      Thank you Annette! This side gallery must be a great place. I streamed the collections online, such a treasure of photography.

      I met L S Lowry at a Gallery in Newcastle when I was still at School there.. Jenny Lee, the Minister for the Arts was there too.

      Oh, I very much admire L S Lowry. I love his work.
