Description:
Haymarket metro station is highly significant as the only metro station within the heart of Newcastle city centre with a distinctive over-ground surface building. This bustling station is a circular building made out of glass and metal. Its shape complements the buildings around it, whilst its relatively low height retains the sense of place created by the adjacent war memorial. LOCAL LIST
