    EDITORIAL Another year has come and gone, and we trust that 1989 will be a happy and prosperous one for all our members. If our Society is to continue to flourish, however, it is essential that more members should play an active part in running its affairs. Ken Brown, our Secretary since 1983 (and acting Programme Organiser for the last year), is resigning at the Annual General Meeting in May, and Irene Blackburn, who is responsible for the Members' Interests and Second Time Around sections of the Journal, will be giving up her position as Research Editor later in the year. We are very grateful to them both for all the work they have done on our behalf. In addition to these two posts, we are still short of a Programme Organiser. If you know of anyone who might be willing to take on any of these jobs please let Ken Brown know as soon as possible - otherwise the Society may come to a grinding halt. One of the most important events of 1988 as far as the Society was concerned was the publication of the long-awaited Directory of Members' Interests. Its production entailed a great deal of hard work on the part of those responsible, and it also placed a severe strain on the Society's finances. In view of the fact that it was initially offered free to members (only the cost of postage and packing being charged), the demand for copies was disappointingly small. Copies are still available, and although now priced £2.75 each (post free to addresses in the U.K.), they are very good value.

  • Through the Fireplace...* Inside
    CTYNE & WEAU R Building PresPOLAervation Trust NEWSLETTER Issue 2 AUTUMN 2017 Through the fireplace...* Hello and a very warm welcome to members, old and new, to this second issue of our newsletter, Cupola. As 2017 draws to a close, you find us at the end of our year long Transition Project, where we have taken time to look at ourselves in the mirror, as it were, and think about how we expand the Trust into new areas and larger projects. One of the key strands to achieving this is increasing our membership, and I'm delighted to say, we've welcomed record numbers of you to the Trust this year. The biggest number in 20 years! We need you, we value you and we want more of you, so do please tell your friends! Alongside Transition, we've been grappling with lead dust, saving retail heritage, and finding out how a roof truss can unlock a mystery. Meanwhile, Staiths Friends have discovered that dog shows, light installations and heritage all go rather well together. You can read all about that and more in this issue. Enjoy the newsletter, thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at a members' event soon. Yours, Kari Vickers , Deputy Manager. Back to the Wall Volunteer's Viewpoint This month's "wallists" are Virginia and Roger, two active members of the admirable Dunston Staiths Friends group, who are working closely with the Trust to sustain this iconic visitor attraction. We moved to the Staiths South Bank after they were closed for so long.

  • William Newton (1730-1798) and the Development Of
    William Newton (1730-1798) and the Development of the Architectural Profession in North-East England Richard Pears A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology, Newcastle University April 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the emergence of the professional architect in the provinces of eighteenth-century Britain, drawing upon new research into the career of William Newton (1730-1798) of Newcastle upon Tyne. Section I assesses the growth of professionalism, identifying the criteria that distinguished professions from other occupations and their presence in architectural practitioners. It contrasts historians’ emphasis upon innovative designs by artist-architects, such as Sir John Vanbrugh and Robert Adam, with their absence from the realisation of their designs. Clients had to employ capable building craftsmen to supervise construction and this was an opportunity for an alternative practitioner to emerge, the builder-architect exemplified by Newton, offering clients proven practical experience, frequent supervision, peer group recommendation and financial responsibility. Patronage networks were a critical factor in securing commissions for provincial builder-architects, demonstrated here by a reconstruction of Newton’s connections to the north-east élite. Section II reveals that the coal-based north-east economy sustained architectural expenditure, despite national fluctuations. A major proposal of this thesis is that, contrary to Borsay’s theory of an ‘English urban renaissance’, north-east towns showed continuity and slow development. Instead, expenditure was focused upon élite social spaces and industrial infrastructure, and by the extensive repurposing of the hinterlands around towns. This latter development constituted a ‘rural renaissance’ as commercial wealth created country estates for controlled access to social pursuits by élite families.

Look along the alley, you will see The Heber Tower and a well preserved section of the city wall running parallel with Stowell Street. Either walk the alley or preferably walk back out into China Town.

Conservation in Newcastle upon Tyne City Centre 1959- 1968 Abstract Modernist planning was at its zenith in Britain during the 1960s, after post-war austerity had passed and before disillusion and reaction set in towards the end of the decade and in the 1970s. It is a time often now associated with ‘clean sweep’ planning, where the only constraints on redevelopment were economic and conservation policy was restricted to the preservation of a limited number of major buildings and monuments. This article considers the re-planning of Newcastle City Centre in the period when planning in the city was led by T. Dan Smith and Wilfred Burns, from Smith assuming political control in 1959 to Burns leaving in 1968. It demonstrates that though modernist rationalism was the driving force in the city’s re- planning it co-existed with a conscious policy of conservation, born out of a picturesque design tradition. Weep, Geordie, weep, At the murder of your city; Weep, Geordie, weep, For the vandals have no pity.

  • Plague of Icy Breath. Cholera and the Gateshead Community 1831–1832*
    Gesnerus 67/1 (2010) 6–29 Plague of Icy Breath. Cholera and the Gateshead Community 1831–1832* Ellen Tullo Summary The impact of cholera epidemics on communities around the world during the 19th century has generated a vast array of resources for the medical his- torian. However, the more readily available testimonies of doctors and local boards of health dominate the literature, whilst our understanding of the ex- perience of individuals, particularly the destitute victims of cholera and their families, is sparse.This article analyses a collection of unpublished documents assembled by an antiquary, John Bell, from Gateshead, North-East England, in 1831–1832, in order to reconstruct the experience of the local community as they prepared themselves for the arrival of cholera and how they re- sponded to its devastating effects. The paper concludes by examining the en- during changes prompted by the community reaction to the cholera outbreak of 1831–1832, including the establishment of the Gateshead Dispensary. Keywords: cholera; epidemic; Gateshead; dispensary movement Introduction The Pestilence is nearing To England’s merry shore: A million ghosts appearing Beckon a thousand more.1 Elizabeth Barrett Browning aptly communicates the nervous anticipation that abounded across England as cholera relentlessly extended its path * This paper was adapted from a postgraduate MA in the History of Medicine at the Uni- versity of Newcastle upon Tyne. I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr Thomas Rütten, who has offered ongoing patient support and invaluable advice, and Dr David Gardner- Medwin for directing me to the John Bell collection.
