The striking sight of St James’ Park has dominated the Newcastle skyline for decades.
Whether it’s from the city centre or even from Gateshead, the chances are you can pick out at least part of the stadium, just as you could do in these scenes from the past.
They were all taken from the Newcastle Libraries collection and show images of the ground from 1960 onwards.
Tell us what your favourite view of the Magpies’ ground is, but only after you have had a proper browse through this collection.
