Goldsmiths' website on 2nd July 2015 recorded:
"Northern Goldsmiths is undoubtedly a huge part of Goldsmiths’ history. The legendary store sits on the corner of Pilgrim Street and Blackett Street, Newcastle, and has done since 1892. The store is one of the longest standing in the Goldsmiths estate and has become a flagship showroom.

The original features of the golden building such as the Birdcage, the 24 carat gold Rolex clock and the golden Lady Venus have all been rejuvenated and restored. The store holds a host of memories for the people of Newcastle and over the years has become a Newcastle landmark, known to light up the streets at night. Goldsmiths invites you to explore the magical legacy of Northern Goldsmiths and experience the newly refurbished showroom in all its glory.

Northern Goldsmiths brings an element of magic and heritage to the city, with over 230 years of tradition. In fact, many still use the iconic Rolex clock on the building, also known as the ‘kissing clock’ as a meeting scene today. It has been the place of many wonderful proposals over the years and holds a place in many people’s hearts."
