Newcastle

The imprint treats the city as a working place, not a postcard. Quayside walks sit beside the yards at Wallsend and Jarrow. Street-name books sit beside cinema lists. The Tyne Bridge itself — opened in 1928, repaired toward its centenary — is one title among many, not the whole list.

Readers who want the festival programme or current shop hours should check Newcastle Libraries; this site keeps the catalogue and the address.
