Structure
The popular gardens and quadrangle around the Civic Centre are a good example of modern civic pride. The gardens are well designed and act as an attractive setting for the Listed memorials and buildings contained in them. Ever since the Civic Centre was opened in 1968 the gardens have been well maintained and well used. It is the nearest open space to the universities and shops around Haymarket, and is therefore a haven in the heart of Newcastle city centre. LOCAL LIST
