Kemsley House on Westgate Road, Newcastle.
German airship the Graf Zeppelin was seen flying overhead on the morning of the 19th August, 1931. Unfortunatley, it appeared before a photographer was at hand to capture the moment !

Kemsley House on Westgate Road, Newcastle - A Missed Opportunity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1930s in Newcastle upon Tyne. The iconic Kemsley House stands tall and proud against the cityscape backdrop, showcasing its remarkable architecture that has withstood the test of time. However, what truly makes this image unique is the story behind it. On a fateful morning in August 1931, excitement filled the air as the majestic German airship known as the Graf Zeppelin graced Newcastle's skies. Unfortunately for us all, fate had a cruel twist – no photographer was present to capture this extraordinary moment. As we gaze at this photograph today, we can't help but feel a sense of humor mixed with regret. How ironic it is that such an awe-inspiring event occurred right above Kemsley House without anyone there to immortalize it through their lens! It serves as a reminder that sometimes life's most incredible moments pass us by when least expected. Nevertheless, let us appreciate this snapshot for what it represents – not just an absence of opportunity but also a testament to our human desire to preserve history and share stories through images. So here it stands before us; Kemsley House on Westgate Road forever linked with the memory of an elusive encounter between architecture and aerospace in one fleeting moment captured only by our imagination.
