NZ2464 : 30 Grainger Street, Newcastle

taken 14 years ago, near to Gateshead, England

30 Grainger Street, Newcastle
30 Grainger Street, Newcastle
The showiest of a showy sequence - the Victorians (and Edwardians) rarely, if ever, missed an opportunity to make a feature of a corner building. They probably had a building code about it. If they had, the architect of this swaggering French Renaissance pile with a typically fantastical roofline (NZ2464 : Detail of 30 Grainger Street, Newcastle (1)), John Johnstone, would have passed with flying colours. Built in 1884-86 for the Newcastle and Gateshead Gas Company. Grade II listed.
Now a Yates's pub.
