A Newcastle city centre landmark is set to undergo essential repairs after concerns were raised over its safety.
The Chinese Arch which has stood proudly at the junction with Stowell Street since 2005 is said to have fallen into a bad state of disrepair with its tiles beginning to crack and fall to the ground below.
Tony Corcoran, secretary of the nearby Tyneside Irish Centre, told Chronicle Live last week that he feared it was only a matter of time before someone walking underneath was injured.
