Display garden on Riverside [next to the R. Tyne] The "Spaceship" is the UFO in the background. Scanned image. But I need to find my notes / the guidebook / map to work out which one it is !

Pretty sure that this was taken during the later stages of the construction phase, well before May 1990. I'm looking across the R.Tyne, from near the eastern end of what is now Newcastle Business Park. The structure of the extreme right is "Dunston Staithes" - the means of loading coal onto ships for export. It was restored for the festival, and it's centenary ! [Very unfortunately, parts of it have been cremated by idiotic vandals, on more than one occasion, and it is now badly damaged]

Note that this loco (Douglas Ferreira) is the property of the R&ER Preservation Society.
