Photos of Waygood's redevelopment can be seen in the windows of 31 High Bridge

The screens in the left hand window of Waygood at 31 High Bridge show photographs taken by Katy Merrington, of the redevelopment work taking place on the former Wards Warehouse. Katy Merrington and Debbie Bower are mentees of William Raban documenting the changes to Waygood’s building.

William Raban is a London-based filmmaker and a leading figure in his field. His particular interests lie in cities and the British landscape and he has been described as ‘one of the finest exponents of the genre known as ‘Avant-Garde Landscape’ film’. His work ranges from multi screen gallery pieces to perfectly crafted short films. Waygood has commissioned William Raban, to create a film that will capture this architectural transformation and provide a fascinating document to one of Newcastle’s most exciting regeneration projects.

Whilst the redevelopment continues on the warehouses behind, Waygood Art Boutique, a small selling gallery offering contemporary art by artists associated with Waygood, is open at 31 High Bridge, Newcastle between 12noon and 5pm Wednesdays - Saturdays.
