Borders Buses 11726 YJ17 FZB In Castlegate Berwick Upon Tweed Running 9 Minutes Late On the 10:05 267 Wooler to Berwick Ramparts Service
One of the oldest parts of the City of Aberdeen is the Castlegate and it looked good in the February sunshine. I like the old cobbled pavement here and not so long ago the trams used to come and turn at the Castlegate. In olden days and still sometimes now there is a market in the Castlegate, it was the market place since the 12th century. Today it retains that sense of history and on a day like this it is possible to sit outside as long as you are in the sun.
Rising like a granite fairytale on Aberdeen’s Castlegate, the Salvation Army Citadel looks ready to fend off sin with a brass band and a cuppa. Built in 1896, its castle-like façade blends Victorian ambition with ecclesiastical flair—proof that even a mission can have a bit of dramatic flair. Bonus points for the knightly tower and that scaffolding that suggests it’s getting its halo polished.
CASTLEGATE GETS GREY TO GREEN TRANSFORMATION
The scheme links Castlegate to the under-visited ‘hidden jewel’ of Victoria Quays and has transformed the almost redundant former inner ring road from a barrier to a green corridor with sustainable drainage, floral meadows, segregated cycle lanes and public art.
Castlegate (the Street) has been closed to vehicles to create a large riverside terrace with potential to accommodate outdoor seating for existing and future cafes and bars including the former public toilet due to open as the Two Rivers Bar and the Tap and Barrel, now under new management by the Peddlers Market team. The street will also hold the newly established Sheffield Pollen Market, the first fresh flower market in Sheffield, which will take place every third Sunday of the month.
Fifty-seven new trees have been planted as part of the scheme, along with a multitude of low maintenance perennial meadow plants and bulbs which will provide a year long succession of colour and natural habitat for insects, birds and mammals.
The scheme includes four distinctive, specially designed ‘totems’ containing ‘bug hotels’ which provide places for bees and other insects to thrive, along with nature and heritage insights.

This is my 15th year covering this fun festival filled with color and pageantry and beautiful people. Each year some of the regulars return and sometimes fresh new faces appear to join the eclectic Renaissance Family. Some are vendors or employees, and some customers dress up to fit in with the renaissance festival fun and its 16th century way of life. One big happy family of a few thousand escaping the dull drums of their daily life for a few hours. This year's crop of new faces was lovely. Hope you enjoy the images. I try to capture their joy. Always fun, festive, very colorful and exciting!
Thanks very much for looking. Have a great day! Hazaaa!!

Amusing wall art/mural seen on the wall inside Castlegate Fish & Chips Shop, Castlegate, Newark. I didn’t expect to see this lovely sample of art to accompany my purchase of their wares!
The former Corn Exchange on Castlegate, Newark has been described one of the most neglected buildings of historic heritage in the United Kingdom!
It was built in 1847 and open for the public shortly afterwards in 1848 providing a venue for trade of the local farmers, millers and maltsters. It had a 1500 seat hall and was also used for lectures, exhibitions and musical entertainments. In the early 20thC, it was used as well as an early cinema but this venture was short lived.
It continued to be used by local produce merchants and the like every Wednesday until 1978 when it became empty and for a while becoming a bingo hall and later a nightclub! It is now vacant and needing new owners who must realise that as a grade II listed(protected) building much work needs to be done and it can’t just be knocked down!
A westbound coal train starts up Price River Canyon at Castle Gate on the climb to Soldier Summit. DRG&W 3116,5317,3098 and 3107 lead the way on June 8, 1990, and yes helpers were on the rear.
Castle Gate Cemetery for Castle Gate Ghost town infamous for the horrific mine disaster of 1924.
The Castle Gate mine disaster occurred on March 8, 1924, in a coal mine near the town of Castle Gate, Utah (now dismantled), All of the 171 men working in the mine were killed in the series of three violent explosions. One worker, the leader of the rescue crew, died from carbon monoxide inhalation while attempting to reach the victims shortly after the explosion.
To add to the tragedy, two weeks prior to the explosion, the Utah Fuel Company had laid off many of the unmarried miners and miners without dependents during a period of reduced orders for coal. As a result, 114 of the men who were killed in the disaster were married men, leaving behind 415 widows and fatherless children.

This is one of my favourite places in Aberdeen it is so steeped in history. It is hard to believe that the old trams used to come in here and round and up Union Street or King Street. You can see a modern bus just disappearing along King Street and there were not many people around. The grey granite tells you this is Aberdeen.

Newark on Trent, Town Centre. Corn Exchange, Newark on Trent. Built in 1847, designed by Henry Duesbury. It later became a cinema and then a bingo hall, before conversion to nightclubs. Empty for a few years, but reopened 2023 as Club X - it swiftly ran into problems with its licence, but seems to have survived, though there was little sign of this outside. Grade 2 listed.
