RE: Touring old Newcastle
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
It is incredible to see just how much of this mish-mash of British architecture and infrastructure matches that of Australia.
I live in Adelaide, and we have an eclectically bizarre mix of structures. We have art deco, we have colonial, heritage buildings. We have roman, (And greek!) columns, soviet brutalism, and of course, more contemporary structures.
Your images of Newcastle look like they'd be right at home here, on the other side of the world.

I'm sure a few architects and engineers went from Newcastle to Australia and took their designs with them. I saw some similarities in Sydney. People seem to like familiar designs. They certainly kept using those Roman and Greek ones for banks and government buildings.
