South Shields Town Hall centenary #1

Posted by Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 2 November 2010 in Documentary & Street and Portfolio.

South Shields "new" Town Hall in Westoe Road celebrated its centenary on October 19th, with live entertainment, pop and rock bands, drummers, pipers, and fireworks. It was opened in 1910 as the town expanded towards Westoe Village and is considered one of the grandest public buildings in the north of England.

Great capture - I like the long shot showing the crowd in front of you. Very nice exposure. I love the slide show as well - the sparkling effect works very well with this occasion!

It's great to see some civic pride going on! I hope that their decisions are as grand as the building that they make them in!
