Hi there
In response to your question about "Baltic" and where the name came from:
The BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art is housed within the old Baltic Flour
Mill. The Flour Mill was built by Joseph Rank in 1950. Joseph Rank had
other Flour Mills - all of which he named after oceans or seas. The flour
inside Baltic actually came from a number of different sources, including
Canada and India.
The Baltic Flour Mill was such a landmark on the River Tyne that BALTIC
decided to keep the name. Most people in the locality refered to the
building as Baltic anyway.
Hope this is helpful
Emma

Hi Sarah !
I just surfed through Baltic sites http://www.balticmill.com/, can you tell
me where does the name "Baltic" come from ?
I am actually from the Baltics, from Estonia...
