Built c 1925, and named after a stream that now flows hidden under these parts. An interesting building with "Egyptian" detailing; it's a shame that it's tucked away down a narrow lane - see NZ2464 : Pudding Chare, NE1.
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
