This print captures the essence of Alnwick Westgate House, a remarkable piece of mid-20th century housing in Northumberland. Standing proudly along Clayport Street, this row of terraced flats exudes a timeless charm that has withstood the test of time. The photograph showcases the exterior view facing south, allowing us to appreciate the architectural beauty and attention to detail that went into its construction. The well-maintained pedestrian pavement in the foreground adds an inviting touch, beckoning residents and visitors alike to explore this vibrant neighborhood.
