The image is a black and white photograph of a busy street scene in a city. The street is lined with tall buildings on both sides, with shops and businesses visible in the background. On the left side of the image, there is a large truck parked on the side of a road, and on the right side, there are several cars and people walking on the sidewalk. In the center of the street, there appears to be a traffic light and a pedestrian crossing sign. The sign reads "Gateshead A6125 Wallsend A6565". The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 20th century.
