Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England, UK.

A street scene in Newcastle's Quayside featuring the massive stone arches of a high-level railway viaduct towering over the roadway on the left. Through the largest arch, modern brick apartment buildings with balconies can be seen in the distance against a pale sky. To the right stands a traditional, multi-storey red brick pub named "The Dubliner", its facade brightly decorated with colourful hanging flower baskets and cascading strings of fairy lights above a dark green ground floor. Below, a road with pedestrian crossings, green traffic lights, and tall black lampposts runs beneath the viaduct. A few pedestrians stroll along the pavements, while a bright green car on the lower left and a beige SUV on the lower right navigate the street near a row of commercial wheelie bins nestled against the viaduct's imposing stone pillar.

Appropriate since lots of the industrial revolution happened oop north.

Also when I assume the phrase "sending coal to Newcastle" got coined. Don't take this statement as fact, refer to the quote in my profile
