What a difference a day makes.
These photos taken less than 24 hours apart show busy Newcastle nightlife spots which have now been completely deserted.
On Wednesday night, revellers packed the Bigg Market to enjoy their final night of freedom before England entered a second national lockdown.
Large queues formed outside of city centre bars such as Passing Clouds, Bijoux and The Mile Castle as partygoers braved the cold.
There was a heavy police presence in the Bigg Market as many pubs and bars were fully booked up until closing time at 10pm.
Santa hats and costumes were donned by drinkers eager to enjoy their last night of freedom before new restrictions came into force.
Ticketed events were held in venues across the city with predominantly students flooding onto the streets.
Pubs and bars were "ram packed" with some students telling ChronicleLive that social distancing was not being observed in some venues.
Fast-forward to Thursday evening and the Bigg Market is a vastly different scene.
Not a soul could be seen as it appears residents are obeying the new restrictions telling them to stay at home.
Under new rules, hospitality venues have been forced to close their doors for the second time this year. Some venues are able to stay open for takeaway and delivery services.
Non-essential shops are also shutting down with some able to provide click and collect services.
Northumbria Police last night issued a stark warning ahead of the lockdown saying they would not "waste time with endless encouragement for those who knowingly break the rules and endanger lives".
The lockdown is set to be reviewed on December 2.
