Get Carter, Trinity Car Park, Gateshead

Fascinating (well for a car park) history this place has. By the time it was finished the architectural style
was already out of fashion. It subsided almost as soon as it was opened. Fire regulations and design faults
meant the roof top restaurant was never developed. But it did get its big break in Get Carter.
Were it not for Mr Caine's appearance no doubt it would have gone years ago like its sister the Tricorn center

This is a small stair way to a back store room for the ill fated restaurant, if you look carefully in the photo
there is actually a beer barrel up there, so maybe there was a party or something held in the
restaurant at some time over the years

the store is full of junk:-

Thats it for now, now waiting for demolition to take place in February
