  • 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.

  • The A1 Trunk Road
    THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORTATION The A1 Trunk Road The A1 is the UK's longest numbered road, dating back to the 1920’s, when it reflected the importance of the link between London and Edinburgh. In 1952, the Great North Road passed through the region’s towns and city centres – local and through traffic sharing the same space with pedestrians in Darlington, Durham, Gateshead and Northumberland Street in Newcastle. Further north, it was forced through pinch-points such as the ancient Bondgate Tower in Alnwick. Sixty years later, the A1 has been replaced by the A1(M) motorway in County Durham, while Tyne & Wear and Northumberland has seen gradual improvements (and diversions) to the route. It remains the primary road link north and south of the region, despite its mix of improved and unimproved sections. 1 A1(M) in the North East The principle of a new A1 trunk route through County Durham was first established in the 1930’s with the building of bypasses for Birtley and Chester-le-Street, along with plans for a Darlington bypass. That proposal didn’t come to fruition until 1956 when the bypass was included in the national network of new Motorways by the Ministry of Transport. Construction commenced in 1961 and included 10.5 miles of motorway between Darlington and Barton, a two mile spur road into the town, 9.5 miles of load road reconstruction and 34 bridges. It was opened in May 1965 at a cost of £6.5m. Design work on a further 22 mile stretch of the ‘Durham Motorway’, between Darlington and Chester-le-Street, started in 1958 with construction broken down into four sections, each costing between £3m and £4m.
