NEWCASTLE 'THE STEEL CITY'
NEWCASTLE 'THE STEEL CITY'
Part of the OLD NEWCASTLE SERIES, Newcastle 'The Steel City' contains many landmarks from the city's past. A Novocastrian will see many artifacts, from the industrious BHP steel works, to the theatres and night clubs that no longer operate, to public transport now redundant or decommissioned, to extinct businesses and employers. This work comes in a retro grunge texture, allowing the viewer a more immersive work, that encapsulates the late 1900's aesthetic.
Work contains: (from left to right, top to bottom)
- The T&G BUILDING (corner of Watt and Hunter),
- BHP STEELWORKS (operated from 1915 to 1999),
- HAMILTON MUNICIPAL BUILDING AND W. R. ALEXANDER CLOCK TOWER (remodeled after the 1989 earthquake),
- 22 CHURCH STREET,
- VICTORIA THEATRE (closed as a movie theatre in 1966, currently undergoing reconstruction),
- PALAIS ROYALE (demolished in 2008),
- DOUBLE DECKER BUS (discontinued in late 1900's),
- KOOROONGABAH VEHICULAR FERRY & FORD HD 1965 Premier Sedan (ferry/harbour punts were sold in 1971),
- NEWCASTLE SUN NEWSPAPER WITH SYGNA STORM FRONT PAGE (Newspaper ceased publishing in 1980),
- OLD TIMBER FORESHORE PROMENADE (reclaimed from mines, shipping and harbour activities in the mid to late 1900's and current version was created in 1988).

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.










Bought a Newcastle Steel City print for my parents, as Dad used to work at BHP. Very happy
