Haymarket, Newcastle

It is also the location of the Church of St Thomas the Martyr, a prominent city landmark.

The area is home to various war memorials including The Response, 1914 by Goscombe John, described by Alan Borg, a former Director General of the Imperial War Museum as "one of the finest sculptural ensembles on any British monument."
