Tuthill Stairs
-
Description
"Following the old practice of narrow closes and stairways connecting Newcastle's Quayside with the higher land north of the Tyne, Tuthill Stairs is now a modern connection between Close and Clavering Place providing a passage between the new apartment blocks west of the High Level Bridge. It follows, however, the line of one of Newcastle's Medieval narrow streets, an alley or chare in the local dialect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chare Newcastle Libraries photos from 1886 and 1966 http://www.flickr.com/photos/newcastlelibraries/4075632885 http://www.flickr.com/photos/newcastlelibraries/4077647928/ The redevelopment here, called Quayside Lofts, was by Conran & Partners in 2007 http://www.conranandpartners.com/architecture-selected_project/17/work-quayside_lofts/# The brick and glass frontage of one of the apartment buildings is on the left of the following photo [[1159548]] You can look down between these modern buildings and the aligned north entrance to Bridge Court (over which a double-level glass walkway connects the flanking office blocks [[1828275]]) to get a fleeting glimpse of the river with the tall flats of Gateshead beyond.
