This photograph shows the old Fish Market building on the Quayside, with the High Level Bridge and the Castle Keep in the background. The building was opened in 1880 but could never compete effectively with the Fish Quay market nearer the sea at North Shields. the building was designed by the architect A.M. Fowler and the stone sculpture over the doorway was carved by George Burn. The sculpture is of Neptune, god of the sea, flanked by fishwives who sold the fish. This building now houses a nightclub called the Viper Lounge
What a wonderful view! It looks really striking in that light.
