NZ2464 : 8 Nelson Street, NE1

taken 13 years ago, near to Gateshead, England

8 Nelson Street, NE1
8 Nelson Street, NE1
Built c 1836, probably by John Wardle, for Richard Grainger. More Italianate than some of Grainger's buildings, with its balustrade, bracketed cornice, windows with heavy sills, and a central pedimented window with its own little blind balustrade. It was clearly intended to be the eastern wing of the row of buildings on the north side of Nelson Street: there is an identical western one at NZ2464 : 14 Nelson Street, NE1. The ground floor is now The Café Royal LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) , but the Eldon Centre has reduced most of the building to a facade only. The building is Grade II listed LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) .

The Buildings of Grainger Town - No.48. See NZ2464 : The Earl Grey Monument, Grey Street, NE1.
