1962 by Geoffrey Clarke. A grey painted steel spiral over 10m high. Next to the Herschel Physics Building. Commissioned by University of Newcastle upon Tyne. The piece was originally finished in shiny aluminium, but Basil Spence who designed the nearby Herschel Building, thought that it distracted attention from his building and so after a month it was flame blasted, waxed and painted grey {2}.
The sculpture was listed Grade II in 2016 with the following description:
Details
Sculpture, 1962 by Geoffrey Clarke, commissioned by Sir Basil Spence to stand outside his Herschel Building for the Physics Department of the University of Newcastle (at that time King's College, University of Durham, becoming the University of Newcastle in 1963).
MATERIALS: steel armature with cast aluminium panels. Painted with micaceous iron oxide and microcrystalline wax during the 2012 restoration.
PLAN: a free-standing sculpture with a vertically-set shield and coil with a tall spire standing on a narrow, rectangular platform or bench.
DESCRIPTION: the sculpture stands on the NW side of the Herschel Building and is set at an angle to the building. It is a large, abstract design, though clearly symbolic of the scientific advances in the 1960s. The main section is set on a narrow, rectangular bench or platform standing around 1.2 metres high on rectangular legs. The bench has an angular appearance being covered in textured, cast-aluminium panels with projecting pegs or dowels. The shape of the main section is based on some form of electrical equipment or receiving dish held by a clamp with V-shaped base which stands at the N end of the bench. The clamp is covered in small, pegged, cast aluminium panels, giving the effect of wooden slats. One side of the main section is made of a large, loosely-wound coil covered in angular, cast aluminium panels. The other side is shaped like a roughly circular shield or receiving dish of cast aluminium with raised seams, which cups the coil. Two, roughly horizontal, circular steel tubes emerge out of the aluminium panels to flank the spiral like stripped wires or antennae. The whole is topped by a tall spire or antenna rising approximately 4 metres. The lower half is covered by small, cast-aluminium panels from which a circular steel tube emerges.

By Carol Sommer, Sue Downing and William Herbert. A 140m long stream of text on stainless steel. The text comes from Roman messages, texts from the time of King Charles I and from text messages collected in 2002 on the day of the Newcastle and Sunderland derby, translated into SMS text form. William Herbert has written a response referring to the Skinner Burn which flows under the street. Commissioned by Grainger Town Partnership and Newcastle City Council.

2003 by Danny Lane. Next to The Gate. A 9m high glass sculpture, made up of six separate glass monoliths held together by a steel post-tensioning rod, standing on a stainless steel plinth with a hole punched through it. Commissioned by Grainger Town Partnership. The name is a play on words based on its form of the intersection of two circles (or ellipses) like the eclipse of the moon or sun. Unveiled in March 2005. Commissioned by Grainger Town Partnership.

2002 by Nigel Boonham. A 3m high bronze sculpture of Cardinal Hume dressed in Benedictine habit, cardinal's skullcap and the cross of St. Cuthbert. The statue stands on a sandstone platform in the shape of Holy Island (Lindisfarne) within a garden which reflects his love of Northumbria and the Northern Saints. There is a sandstone platform in the shape of Inner Farne - where St Cuthbert and St Aidan lived as hermits, a boulder taken from Inner Farne and a 3 ton boulder from below Lindisfarne Castle inscribed with Caedmon's Hylm of the 7th century. There is one more stone, from the monk's quarters at Ampleforth Abbey, Basil Hume's monastic home. Unveiled by Queen Elizabeth II on May 7th 2002. Commissioned by the Cardinal Hume Memorial Trust and Newcastle City Council with funding from Public Subscription and Grainger Town Partnership.
