I spent the second week of April in York, visiting during the week Gateshead and Newcastle. The following sixteen photographs show Antony Gormley’s Angel of the North; the area around the Sage and the BALTIC, featuring both institutes, street art, and the Millenium and Tyne bridges; St James’ Park, where an abject Newcastle performance still threatened, for a time in the second half, to send the side through to the semi-finals of the Europa League; and then York’s River Ouse, Minster, City Walls, Clifford’s Tower, and Treasurer’s House garden.
