  Monks always built where there was a good view!

I was surprised that the main street of Tynemouth was elegantly Georgian. Well worth a day trip, and a great walk out to the lighthouse!

Hmm, I’m getting a hankering for a visit to the North East, and these images have just strengthened that!!

I hadn’t paid much attention to postcards until lately. Love these. Wonderful views.
I’ve search for postcards in the past week for our city and came up against a wall of nothing. Sheesh.

  I have been collecting them for several years – every time that I go away.

    I’ve been looking for some from my city. Seems to be a terrible shortage. 😦 We used to have easy access to local postcards. It’s a shame.

What’s Henry VIII got to do with ruined cathedrals. Did he burn them down every time he wanted to annul another marriage?

  I interpreted the comment to include Abbey and monasteries but you make a valid point.
