EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the transformation of Percy Street, Newcastle upon Tyne. Amidst a bustling demolition site, the iconic Three Bulls Head pub proudly stands tall in the center, seemingly unaffected by the surrounding chaos. This image serves as a poignant reminder of both destruction and renewal within an urban landscape. The demolition site depicted here would soon give way to the construction of Eldon Garden shopping centre, forever altering this corner of Newcastle. However, instead of erasing history entirely, developers wisely chose to incorporate the beloved pub into their plans for progress. The result is a harmonious blend of old and new - where modern shoppers can now enjoy retail therapy while surrounded by echoes from another era. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded not only of physical transformations but also of our ability to adapt and evolve with changing times. The Three Bulls Head pub symbolizes resilience and preservation amidst rapid urban development. Thanks to Historic England Archive's meticulous documentation, this snapshot allows us to reflect on how our cities continuously reinvent themselves while still honoring their pasts. It serves as a testament to our collective responsibility in preserving historical landmarks that hold cultural significance for future generations.
