The Former Newcastle Breweries Office, Haymarket, Newcastle upon Tyne
This imposing building was formerly the Head Office of Newcastle Breweries. It is now the home to the International Centre for Culture and Heritage Studies at Newcastle University. It is used as a classroom and lecture space for the department, as well as office space for the department's faculty and research students.
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
