Sunrise at Sandhill, Newcastle upon Tyne
Sandhill has been used as a quayside since Roman times. The area was named Sandhill because originally it was little more than a hill of sand when the tide was out. It became home to several prominent merchants during the 16th century, and contains a number of Grade 1 listed buildings.
At the center of this photo is Phoenix House, situated at the junction of Queen Street and Lombard Street. It was designed and built by William Parnell in 1869 as offices for the Royal Insurance Company. The Tyne Bridge (built in 1928) can be seen crossing the roof of the building.
The photo was taken as the sun was rising at the left hand side of the frame.
