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).

from 30 reviewsA4 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.

Purchased as gifts. Great service, delivered to door with a smile by owner of business.

I purchased my Newcastle print on line and Edward was so helpful sorting out pre Xmas delivery for me. He organised and personally delivered the print to me at my apartment. This made the whole experience perfect as I didn’t have to worry about my framed print being damaged, left at the wrong address or stolen from my front door. The print reflects the view I now have from my new Harbourside apartment, I smile every time I look at it.

I am a Melbourne girl, born and bred. I love all the iconic places and buildings of the city. I couldn't decide on which one I loved the most so got the one which incorporated the three in one. I have put the framed poster in my entry and have had many complementary comments about it. Love it so much.

Although the image depicts an up to date HK there is still plenty of landmarks that remind us of the place we met back in the 80s.

I’ve recently purchased 5 different pieces from World Scape collective and they have been amazing to deal with.The images are beautifully printed and crisp and clear. Edward was brilliant with info when I mistakenly bought two the wrong size, supplying me with what to do andnsuch. Highly recommend these guys.

The set of prints cleverly features all of the local landmarks. The longer you look at them, the more you see. I’m very proud to be a Novocastrian and looking at the prints truly pleases me.

It was a gift for my daughter, who is very fussy but she loved it

Excellent quality print looks amazing framed on my walls. A little touch of home

The picture is now hanging on a wall that has been crying out for something for the last few years. Having finally bought a frame and hung it, Liverpool looks really good. I believe it will be admired for many years to come.
Couldn’t be happier.

Bristol was our home for many years and your artwork captures it to a tee
I especially like the Banksy 🎈 very subtle.










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