Underneath the Get Carter car park is a closed down shopping mall and indoor market. After finding a way down we checked out all the closed shops and their progressive demoltion.

The old chippy was a real mongy place to be :(

This was NOT part of the car park tour but is an actual live demolition site. Shame they left a way in for us explorers :thumb

The whole thing should be getting demo'ed at some point after christmas.

It may look grim but it was desinged by Owen Ludder who really went in for this kind of stuff in a big way.
Also in Gateshead is the "Dunstan Rocket" (google it) anoth example of Ludders work.
Thats due for demo as well in the not too distant future once all the residence have been moved out.

Gateshead council might still allow "official" access to the uper levels of the carpark.

JUst do what we did up here and keep on pestering them with emails etc and then you can get shoots like this
