Viewed by many thousands of people every day the clocks of the main railway station in Newcastle are simple but informative.

Black hands and numerals are mounted onto a white face allowing for maximum contrast.

This clock is positioned at the terminus above platform 10, to the right of the main station entrance.

A number of similar clocks are scattered throughout the platform complex.

It opened in 1850 and is a Grade I listed building.

The railway station is connected to the adjacent underground Central Station Metro station on the Tyne and Wear Metro.
