Northumberland tapestry
I've moved offices at County Hall and this tapestry is nearby. Made in 1966 by John P Wynton it hung at the former County Hall in Newcastle until the new buildings in Morpeth were opened in 1981. It features scenes from both Northumberland and Tyne and Wear, including the Northumberland coat of arms, Alnwick castle, St Nicholas's cathedral, Grainger market, Bates colliery, Tyne bridge, Civic Centre, North Shields fish quay, Tynemouth Priory and St Mary's lighthouse, Cambois power station, Hadrian's Wall, Cragside, Berwick bridge and the Cheviot hills.
