Gateshead council bunch of philistines, someone with an amoebas brain of intelligence could have kept this as a functioning car park and used the spaces up top for some sort of cultral activity, if you dont believe it check out what they do each summer with a much less interesting structure down in sunny Peckham south London. I can just imagine the hideous shite that will replace it. another stunning 60s building consigned to the dusbin.

I am 38 years old and the structure has stood proud towering over Gateshead centre for all of my life. I am an avid fan of all things '60's and believe that the thought of people in the 60's demolishing structures from the '20's would now be frowned upon, although all things from the '60's are currently being demolished with indecent haste. I particularly like the car park as the design is unusual, itself being a ramp rather than levels with a ramp 'stuck' on the side, it's such a shame that the area on the top was never allowed to realise it's full potential as the view is outstanding.
