You may have walked past it hundreds of times without ever noticing it being there.
But tucked along a Quayside side street is a historical sign that pays tribute to Newcastle's shipping past.
The historical relic features on the side of Lui's Italian restaurant on the corner of King Street and details the passenger and cargo routes between Newcastle and London, as well as host of continental ports, which operated from 1904 and 1976. Featuring eye-catching gold lettering on a black signboard the sign informs us the building was once the offices of the Tyne Tees Steam Shipping Company which ran the routes.
