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 52 reviewsLove it and the Newcastle Shirt. Will be ordering similar soon. Thankyou.

Cards are great, they're high quality cards and the design is awesome

A perfect reminder of happy and younger days!

Quality print - gorgeous colours - a great gift for my sister who now lives in Queensland.

Purchased 14 prints from places we travelled as a family outside of Australia, I am just impressed how amazing they look. They are beyond what I expected. Can't wait to put them up.Look forward to more designs being uploaded to add to our collection

These were the perfect gift for my friend who was missing her welsh home. They are beautifully illustrated. I wanted to remind her she always had a home both here in Brisbane and back in Wales.

Beautifully executed. All part of my memories as a migrant.

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










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