Saltwell Towers, Gateshead

A wander around Gateshead's lovely Saltwell Park and grabbed a shot of Saltwell Towers as it caught the last rays of the day's Winter sunshine.

The building, completed in 1871, was the family home of William Wailes, a leading exponent of stained glass in the 19th century.

Didn't realise that one of the windows in Sunderland's original parish church of Holy Trinity is attributed to him!
