NZ2464 : 55-58 Leazes Terrace, Newcastle

taken 13 years ago, near to Newcastle Upon Tyne, England

55-58 Leazes Terrace, Newcastle
55-58 Leazes Terrace, Newcastle
The city's grandest Georgian set piece, and "as a single development [it] has no equal of that period in the north-eastern counties". It is in fact four terraces arranged around a roughly trapezoidal space (seen here is the south side, the plainest), the north side deviating from perpendicularity, but there are commonalities such as height, emphasised ends and centres. By Thomas Oliver, 1829-34, for Richard Grainger. Grade I listed.
Much of it now houses some of the most lavishly accommodated students in the country (Newcastle University), though one hopes that students weren't allowed anywhere near any of the surviving interiors.
