hadrian sqare
       Hadrian Square in Byker is a new public square on Shields Road. The square was designed by Artscope and they commissioned Charles Allen at New Castle Delft to produce the  ceramic tiles and plaques. They also commissioned Charles Allen to make a series of special bricks that related to the history of Byker. Unfortunately  these bricks were not included in the finished scheme.

The line of Hadrians Wall runs through the Square and was revealed by the city archaeologists.
