"There is a point when a conversation takes on a path and direction of it’s own. When there is a sense that it is a separate entity from its human origins, and those sharing in it have the sense of being guided rather then being the ones in control. The same thing can happen with an art project.
This project interprets with various artistic disciplines and media the struggles and adaptations when communication breaks down…whether through language barrier, or through network devices such as chat. How do we work to express and be understood when we have different language and cultural cues…how do we work to express and be understood when the symbols of written language are out only information, and non-verbal cues such as expression and gesture are taken away. "

Don't ask Mr B's opinion on me getting this photo. We'd just found a suitable place to sit and eat takeaway fish and chips. Then I came back with this photo.

Newcastle upon Tyne. “A 'grand composition that deserves better recognition' is how David Lovie described the then combined buildings of the Sinclair Tobacco Company in 1997. Things have changed a great deal since then.
Back in 1997 the whole, L-shaped complex wrapped around the Carlisle pub that marked the corner of Westgate Road and Blenheim Street. Lovie treats the two parts as one, although he notes that the Sinclair Building - the property that fronted onto Blenheim Street - was built first, in 1913, followed six years later by Blenheim House, a larger warehouse on Westgate Road. Cackett and Burns Dick were the architects for both.
At the end of the 1990s, Blenheim Street disappeared, replaced by the broader sweep of St James Boulevard. The Carlisle pub clung on until 2004, having been vacant for more than 20 years when it was eventually demolished.
The Sinclair properties retain their old company signage, with attempts to remove it defeated in 2019, and they have been put to use as flats for several decades now. Less satisfactory, especially when seen up close, is the corner space that is still dormant. The finishing and repairing - the 'making good' - of the exposed walls is rather basic too, making that part of the site feel incomplete and abandoned.
The view from across St James Boulevard is nonetheless an impressive one - I like the name in mosaic and the roof rail of the original building in particular. And the saving of the company name a few years ago was an inportant act in appreciating our industrial heritage, however we now feel about the ills of smoking...” Steve Masters.

“An attractive building towards the bottom of Dean Street, nos. 12-14 sits just above the historic lane (and ancient mooring point for ships) called Painter Heugh, seen on the right of the photo. In recent years occupied by Brewdog and previously the Hoko-10 bar, the building still has ornate mosaic panels.
It was built in 1901-2 by Oliver, Leeson and Wood for a leather and rubber manufacturer, John Taylor, Dunford and Co. The business had had earlier premises in the Close and on Sandhill before moving into an older building on the same Dean Street plot. It was demolished so that new premises with electric lifts and modern machinery could be erected. Post-WW2 directories refer to the building as Dunford House. In more recent times, part of the building was incorporated into the Surtees Hotel (now closed, but signs still visible on first floor exterior).” Steve Masters on Facebook.
