Segedunum Roman Fort, Wallsend, Newcastle
Segedunum was a Roman fort built at the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall (now in Wallsend, Tyne and Wear). It lay on the north bank of the River Tyne and was garrisoned c122AD-c400AD.
The fort is 138mx120m, an area of 17 hectares. It had four double gates with only the south gate opening within the Wall. The Hadrian's Wall joined to the west wall and then, from the south-east corner of the fort, a 2m wide wall ran down to the river.
For most of its history about 600 soldiers garrisoned the fort and there is evidence of a civilian vicus by the fort.
Today, the surviving foundations of many buildings and part of the Wall can be visited at the site. There is also a museum, a full-scale reconstruction of a bath house, a section of Wall and a 35 metre high viewing tower.
It is a World Heritage Site. More details can be found at Link

Swan Hunter's Entrance
Probably not standing for long since the official selloff - may be gone by 2008
Wallsend Metro Station No Smoking sign
Several of the signs in the station are in Latin - you either love them or hate them.
The Coronation Club
Although the entrance is on Coronation Street this is not the origin of the name. The original club was probably opened at the time of the coronation of George V.
The Borough Theatre
This building started life as a music hall then became a cinema and finally a bingo hall and is now unused.
