The image is a black and white photograph of a busy street in a city. The street is lined with tall buildings on both sides, with shops and restaurants visible on the left side of the image. The buildings appear to be old and dilapidated, with broken windows and crumbling walls. There are several cars and trucks on the street, and a group of people walking on the sidewalk. On the right side, there is a traffic light and a sign that reads "Hexham (A69)". The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photograph is somber.
