Newcastle Brewery

Back in my old life I worked for S&N and I was able to access the Newcastle Brewery during the week of the last production run before it closed down.
It was an incredibly fascinating site with 3 generations of brewhouses on the site ranging from long disused, old and dusty, copper mash tuns to state of the art stainless steel.

These, and a load of other photographs, will be handed over to the Tyne & Wear archive at The Discovery Museum at some point. As I was going through them I thought I'd post a few of my favourites...

Best of February

February was a good month for photography so my list of favourite landscapes from Feb 2011 runs to a round dozen.

All of these are taken from my other blog northumberland360.com

It shows that February was sometimes calm, sometimes windy, sometimes sunny, sometimes dull, there were warm days, frosty days and one snow shower. That sums up a month in Northumberland...no two days alike.
