This picture taken in 1960 shows a view immortalised 10 years later in the famous Michael Caine film Get Carter.
Dunston Power Stations six chimneys rise into the air with rolling fields behind them - on the spot where the MetroCentre now stands in Gateshead.
Electricity from the station supplied Northumberland, County Durham, Cumberland, Yorkshire and as far north as Galashiels in Scotland, as well as Tyneside.
It became outdated and closed in 1981, being demolished five years later as work on the MetroCentre began.
The picture was taken amid the dramatic terraces of Clara Street in Newcastles West End where children dubbed the stations initial three chimneys Tom, Dick and Harry.
13th June 1960
