A STAINED glass window that was lost for years has been given pride of place in a North-East art gallery.
The window was a main feature of the Laing Art Gallery, in Newcastle, when it opened in 1904.
But at some point, it was taken out, put into storage and forgotten.
Staff came across it in a store room, during a major refurbishment of the building.
It was restored to its rightful spot on the gallery's main staircase yesterday.
The window was designed by J Edgar Mitchell, a Newcastle artist, who was a major figure in the North-East art movement during the early 1900s.
