The Grand Hotel, on the corner of Church and Bolton streets, Newcastle, has seen some changes over the years.
Not to mention the patronage of hundreds of legal eagles, judges and criminals. And journalists.
The old pub faces more changes in clientele in the near future, as the legal precinct shifts west.
Move your cursor over the vintage image, shot on glass negative more than a century ago by the Kerry photographic studio. Watch as past and future blend, and ponder the changes the future has in store.
The photo is one of hundreds collated here in our latest "Archival Revival" release of pictures dredged from its physical and digital archives and placed on the web for readers to enjoy.
