This building is a super well preserved example of late 19th century former Co-operative buildings, giving this section of Heaton Road tremendous character although slightly spoilt by the modern shop frontages. Built in 1892, the building is three storeys high, with brick being the dominant material used although some stone has been used as decoration for the windows. Between the first and second floors there is a fine stone inscription which reads, ‘Newcastle upon Tyne Cooperative Society Limited, Heaton Road Branch, Registered Office 117 Newgate Street’.
