"I think the Byker Wall should be a listed building" - We asked for your favourite Newcastle landmarks

Newcastle has some hugely well loved monuments which are now icons of not only the city, but the whole North East and even England itself.

Within the city and surrounding areas there are some spots we love more than most, so we took to social media and asked our followers for their favourite landmarks across the city.

These are our favourite suggestions.

For many, the landmarks are a symbol of home, with John Ellison saying: “I know it's not Newcastle but it's The Angel of The North, when I see that Angel I know I'm home.”

Andrea Palmer agreed, saying: “100% the Angel, I know I'm home [when I see it].”

Others went for places which they know well from history such as St Nicholas' Cathedral and the Crown Posada suggested by Christian Ambrosioni and Tim Worthington respectively. The cathedral was first built in 1091 but is best known for its spire, which was constructed in 1448 while the Crown Posada can boast its title as one of the city’s oldest pubs, having been rebuilt in the 1880s while old wall paintings are claimed to date back to the Spanish Civil War.

A short walk from the Crown Posada is one of the most suggested sites - the iconic Tyne Bridge. This was recommended by plenty of you including Frank Sturrock who said: “When I come home the hairs on the back of my neck stick up” when seeing it again.

However, one person was quick to mention, as with all the bridges along that stretch of the Quayside, only half is in Newcastle with the bridges also catering for Gateshead communities.

Nicknamed ‘the cathedral on the hill’ by Sor Bobby Robson, there was also plenty of love for St James Park - although it may not be around for much longer. The stadium has hosted Newcastle United since the club formed thanks to the union of local clubs, but expansion issues mean the club are currently considering all their options regarding where to call home into the future.

Other suggestions came from Derek Jardine, who said: “The Byker Wall should be a listed building”, Grey Street from Callum Taylor and Stowell Street, home to one of just five Chinatown districts in the UK.
