Swirle Pavilion

  • Description

    ".....the 'Swirle Pavilion's theme is location and navigation and he also 'made reference to the surrounding buildings on the Quayside, in terms of materials and general architectural form'. The city names around the rim are taken from a much faded sign at Plummer Chare, approximately 500m west, advertising the major destinations of the Tyne-Tees Steam Shipping Company Ltd from Newcastle and Middlesbrough in the nineteenth century.
