Newcastle city library protest - end censorship on Palestine!
On Saturday 19 October 2019, Palestine activists including supporters of Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! and Palestine Action Group held a protest inside Newcastle’s city centre library. This was in response to Newcastle Labour council and the library which it runs shutting down an exhibition marking the Nakba of 1948. For more information see:

Castle Keep, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, UK - 29th November 2012
The Castle is a medieval fortification in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, which gave the City of Newcastle its name. The most prominent remaining structures on the site are the Castle Keep, the castle's main fortified stone tower, and the Black Gate, its fortified gatehouse.
Use of the site for defensive purposes dates from Roman times, when it housed a fort and settlement called Pons Aelius, guarding a bridge over the River Tyne. In 1080, a wooden motte and bailey style castle was built on the site of the Roman fort, which was the 'New Castle upon Tyne'. It was built by Robert Curthose, eldest son of William I (William the Conqueror), having returned south from a campaign against Malcolm III of Scotland. The stone Castle Keep was built between 1172 and 1177 by Henry II on the site of Curthose's castle. The Black Gate was added between 1247 and 1250 by Henry III.
The site is in the centre of Newcastle, and lies to the east of Newcastle Central Station. The 75 feet (23 m) gap between the Keep and the Gatehouse is almost entirely filled by a railway viaduct, carrying the East Coast Main Line from Newcastle to Scotland. The Castle Keep and Black Gate pre-dated the construction of the Newcastle town wall, construction of which started sometime around 1265, and did not form part of it. Nothing remains of the Roman fort or the original motte and bailey castle. The Keep is a Grade I listed building, and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The Keep is owned by the City Council, which leases it to the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle upon Tyne, who manage it as a visitor attraction. The society is based in the Black Gate, and use it to house a library and as a meeting place.
This video begins with external views of the Keep, before going inside for views of the rooms, displays and internal architecture. There are then rooftop views of the castle keep structure, and views over the City of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and Gateshead. This includes Newcastle Central Station, Newcastle Cathedral, St. James's Park, The Tyne Bridge, The River Tyne, Sage Centre, The High Level Bridge, The Swing Bridge, The Gateshead Millennium Bridge, Baltic Flour Mills, Grey's Monument.

How To EASILY FIND ABANDONED PLACES ACTUALLY WORKS TUTORIAL STEP BY STEP
Ever wondered how urban explorers find the abandoned places to make their exploring videos?
This is a step by step easy tutorial for finding abandoned buildings near you, in your town, your city, your village.
I've mentioned before that google maps and research is how you find abandoned places, but today I really show you how I find abandoned places to explore.
This actually works most times, unless a place has a secret fake name like the abandoned house of quotes in lewes, sussex.
*DISCLAIMER: vandals beware, do not use my videos to find abandoned places near you, they won't help. The two abandoned places I will be giving out the location for in this video are both demolished.
I have done videos of them both which can be seen here:
Abandoned mental health hospital in hertfordshire london
( harperbury hospital ) -
Abandoned care home in worthing ( priory care home ) -
Hope this video helps you to find abandoned places in your town... happy exploring.
