Students' Union Building

  • Description

    Coats of arms are (L to R): Armstrong College; University of Durham; College of Medicine; the cross is the pectoral cross of St Cuthbert, the 'apostle of Northumbria'. (The Durham link is because Newcastle was a division of the federal University of Durham at the time that the building was constructed; the two colleges were eventually combined to give King's College, which eventually split off to become the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1963.) Look carefully and you can see the strong arms (fortinbras) of the Armstrongs on the first shield.
