Swirle Pavillion, Newcastle Quayside
The 'Swirle Pavillion' is a sculture located by the Quayside in Newcastle. It was designed by Raf Fulcher and installed in April 1998.[1] Commissioned by Tyne and Wear Development Corporation, the pavilion has the names of various towns carved around the inner rim, that were taken by the artist from a faded sign at Plummer Chare, approximately 500m west. The sign advertised the major destinations of the Tyne-Tees Steam Shipping Company Ltd from Newcastle and Middlesbrough in the nineteenth century. The sculpure’s name originates from a short lane called The Swirle which links Sandgate and the Quayside.
