Get Carter Car Park/Trinity Square

Today Dad and me went to the open day at the old multi-storey carpark in Gateshead; little known by it's real name 'Trinity Square' since it was used in 'Get Carter' many years ago it's due to come down soon so the top deck has been reopened this weekend. Until recently when the Baltic was converted, the Angel put up and the Millennium Eye bridge built it was one of the few buildings known for being in Gateshead. While it's truely hideous it'll be a shame when it's finally demolished sometime this year: it's been there, looking awful, for decades and it's difficult to see what the town will look like without it.

For this reason I spent a few hours this-morning wanding around decks 5 to 7 (the queue to get onto the top deck was huge and not moving) taking photos which I hope to soon put up on my flickr pages. Then we went to the Sage Gateshead and took some more photos of the car park and, as we were there, the bridges, Baltic and Sage itself. Not a bad way to spend a day all in all, especially seeing the inside of the Sage again. If you're in the area, go and see it!
