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.

Editorial Important Announcement from Newcastle City Council on the future of our parks Have YOUR say about the future of Newcastle’s Parks and Countryside sites! Over the next three-months we (the Council) will be delivering a public engagement programme to help shape and develop the council’s future vision for parks. The council is committed to improve the way it delivers parks services, keeping them in public ownership and free to use. We want to fully involve local people, community groups and partners in the future delivery of the service. We have been working with the National Trust to help work out a way forward, in particular researching the possibility of transferring the operation, delivery and maintenance of a large proportion of the city’s parks to a new charitable trust. The consultation begins on 13 February and runs through until 21 April. There will be two ways to get involved online through www.letstalknewcastle.co.uk and www.letstalkparks.co.uk You can also drop in to any of the consultations, the one in the Dene is on Saturday 11 March at the Visitor Centre from 11 – 3pm and information about the other can be found in the links above.

North East of England Edition! Contents
North East of England edition! Contents Where is the North East of England? Things to do: Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland & County Durham Make an itinerary How to get there Choosing accommodation Food and drink Discounts and saving money Safety tips Where is the North East of England? The North East of England is situated around just 3 miles beneath the Scottish Border at its most northern tip, the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. The county Northumberland is the most northern area of the North East, with Newcastle Upon Tyne (in county Tyne and Wear) located to the south of Northumberland. County Durham is further south of Newcastle Upon Tyne. Both Newcastle and Durham are “university cities” (home to Newcastle University, University of Northumbria and University of Durham respectively). Northumberland is famed for its many castles, Roman settlements and hillforts, standing stones, ancient battlefields, coastline & beaches, nearby islands, woodland & parks, rural towns & villages. Northumberland was part of Scotland at times between 616 and 1018. The Earldom of Northumberland was briefly held by the Scottish royal family between 1139–1157 and 1215–1217. Scotland relinquished all claims to Northumberland as part of the Treaty of York in 1237. It is now a popular tourist location due to its wide range of outdoor activities, beautiful scenery and ancient history. Newcastle-Upon-Tyne is arguably the most famous North East city, renowned for its bustling, busy night-life, shopping facilities, vibrant quayside, iconic bridges, festivals & fairs, local markets and historic castle & keep. The city centre is a mixture of award- winning modern, historic Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian architecture.

Newcastle-Upon-Tyne Youth Hostels
YHA (England and Wales) Youth Hostel Profile compiled by the Association’s volunteer archivist, John Martin, rev2020-01-01 Newcastle-upon-Tyne Youth Hostels Introduction The city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne has had a series of YHA hostels since 1969. Up to and including 1977 youth hostels operated on a temporary seasonal basis in the summer months; YHA used three different locations in turn. A fourth one was considered but rejected. The seasonals were successful enough to warrant the introduction from 1978 of a new full-time hostel on Jesmond Road. This lasted until 2011. YHA reluctantly closed that location, but were already actively looking for a replacement. Several sites in Newcastle and Gateshead received serious consideration before a new prospect was found and opened in a central position at Carliol Square in the summer of 2019, fifty years after the first opening. Newcastle-upon-Tyne (Temporary) [Jesmond Dene] Youth Hostel 1969 to 1972 Jesmond Dene House, Jesmond Dene Road, Newcastle-upon-Tyne 2 Historic County: Northumberland YHA Region: Border & Dales GR: NZ 254672 Arthur Dunabin has been an indefatigable volunteer for YHA in the northeast for many decades. He helped set up the Jesmond Dene facility in 1969, and wrote the first of two articles for Youth Hosteller in April of that year (YHA Archive) YHA’s first youth hostel in Newcastle-upon-Tyne was a summer seasonal hostel at Jesmond Dene House, in the north of the city. In the first year, 1969, it operated for five weeks from 21st July until 25th August. There were 44 beds and a members’ kitchen, but no meals were provided.

A Theatre for the Soul St
A THEATRE FOR THE SOUL ST. GEORGE‟S CHURCH, JESMOND: THE BUILDING AND CULTURAL RECEPTION OF A LATE-VICTORIAN CHURCH NEIL MOAT A THESIS SUBMITTED IN TWO VOLUMES FOR THE HIGHER DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, PLANNING AND LANDSCAPE FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY SEPTEMBER 2011 A Theatre for the Soul: Volume I A Theatre for the Soul St. George‟s Church, Jesmond: The Building and Cultural Reception of a late-Victorian church Neil Moat Abstract: St. George‟s church (Osborne Road), Jesmond, Newcastle-upon-Tyne (1885-1891), is a Grade-I listed building, notable for its ambitious scale, unity of conception, and the quality and elaboration of its interior decoration. Commissioned and furnished in its entirety by the influential Tyneside ship-builder Charles Mitchell (1820-1895), a senior partner in the powerful armaments and engineering conglomerate of Sir W.G. Armstrong, Mitchell & Co., St. George‟s was the magnum opus of the little-known architect and artist-craftsman Thomas Ralph Spence (1845-1918). Although recognised from the first as a significant artistic achievement, and despite Sir Nikolaus Pevsner‟s high estimation of the church – „Very restrained in the details… expensive and tasteful decoration, very progressive in style for its date… Arts and Crafts approaching Art Nouveau‟ – Spence‟s masterpiece has not to date received anything like an extended analysis. The present study aims to re-evaluate the significance of the church, primarily in the light of recent readings in late-Victorian ecclesiology and the cultural context of North-East England. The study also collates and analyses for the first time much of the extensive archival material – including important documentation previously unavailable – correlating this with a close reading of the built fabric and with reference to local artisanal and industrial practice.
