NEWCASTLE 'AS IT ONCE WAS'
NEWCASTLE 'AS IT ONCE WAS'
Part of the OLD NEWCASTLE SERIES, Newcastle 'As it Once Was' contains many landmarks from the city's past. Including landmarks from early 1900's Newcastle, this work shows the dramatic change the city has seen in the last century when compared with more modern works in the Newcastle range. It also shows the preservation of many buildings from our city's history, such as the Longworth Institute and Scott's Ltd Building, which have called Newcastle home from over 100 years each.
This work has an early camera texture overlay. The sepia tones and vignette adds an extra immersive element to the work, symbolic of the early 1900's landscape the work captures.
Work contains: (from left to right, top to bottom)
- SCOTT'S Ltd BUILDING (once the David Jones Building, now the QT Building),
- The ZAARA STREET POWER STATION (Built in 1915 and decommissioned in 1971, then demolished in 1978),

- The LONGWORTH INSTITUTE (commissioned in 1891),
- TURKISH BATHS (located on Denison Street in Hamilton, demolished in 1961),

- STATE DOCKYARD (open 1943, closed 1987),

Love the poster. Few issues with the courier. But worth the wait. Was kept in the loop during the delivery process.

These cards are destined for family living in Canada and perfect gift to take in our suitcase. Will order more sets and definitely recommend to everyone

The mugs are a great gift for friends and family who live overseas. These unique, usable items display landmarks from their home and contribute to conversations and memories.

Perfect gift for family overseas.
Beautifully made...

Beautifully made and very absorbent.

I gave it to my 89 yo Mum who grow up in that area. She loved identifying all the land marks. It now proudly hanging on her wall.

I bought the unframed print. A great addition to telling my story and showing some of the attractions of Melbourne.

A4 prints look great. Quick turn around from ordering to delivery, and well packed to prevent damage in the post.

I love it. It has all the symbols of the Cairo I visited. A great reminder of an amazing trip to Egypt

Good quality paper, excellent quality print. Very speedy delivery. Highly recommended.
