Known to locals by its previous name, 'Darn Crook'.
Tyne and Wear HER (6511): Newcastle, St. Andrews Street (Darn Crook) Link
In the centre of the photo is the Newcastle Arms public house, built in 1903. It is a narrow building but with many interesting features such as the wide curved upper bay window, the first floor multiple-divided window, lower pillars and roof ornaments.
To its left is the 1902 extension to the original 1870s North Eastern Co-op Store which was replaced by the current Art Deco building round the corner on Newgate Street, in the 1930s NZ2464 : St Andrew's Churchyard
Newcastle's 'new' co-op was built on Newgate Street in 1932. Although 'art decor' in style, it gave more than a nod to Egypt where Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb had just taken place. See http://www.timmonet.co.uk/html/newcastle_co-op.htm
