Further to previous postings (last being post #711 of 21/07/12) concerning this new development, approx £5 million cost, here are some further photographs taken by myself Saturday 04/08/12 approx 1030 of the ongoing work to the main building and ancillary buildings (hosted on Photobucket).

Further to my last post #688 dated 30/06/12 on this thread, work continues to progress on this long term Taylor Wimpey development on the south bank of the Tyne - these pictures by myself 04/08/12 AM (hosted on Photobucket)

Work continues to west end of overall site area








The apartment block continues to appear from the scaffold and sheeting





And viewed from the steps of the Newcastle Arena

Further to my last posting on this project (#633 on 22/04/12) I append a few pictures ( hosted on Photobucket) taken 04/08/12 approx 1045 showing state of play on the one block of properties being constructed and nearing completion - located immediately to west of Colombo Square block and now known to be called Marmion Court






Seems that after this block and external works & planting area west of it are completed the site is to be temporarily closed down - assume due to current housing market.

This board alongside marketing office shows current status sales within the block




Unable to find anywhere a site plan of the whole development to show extent of work "put on hold"

Not quite a development but there will be some rebuilding work needed on East Park Road. My daughter walked the dog that way this evening from the south and reports that there has been a land slip presumably because of the heavy rain and it has taken down several lengths of metal, spiked fencing. She had some difficulty getting past and to make matters worse the park gates were locked so she couldn't make a detour.

Update: Most of the fencing had been removed this morning but the rubble from two stretches of collapsed wall remains:

East Park Road still has rubble all over the place from the collapsed walls. By the looks of some of the wall it won't be long before more of it comes down.



Did you forget something Ken?

NH - now that tenders have been returned on 3 multi storey blocks think its now time to create a separate Chandless Estate Demolition thread (have been previous postings on this thread)

[Squipper]

I remember when that was the Job Centre back in the 80's, aaah the memories, the flying chairs, the people jumping over the counters, the riot vans

There are precedents, Spillers, Derwent Tower, Tyne Tees TV, Cruddas Park, TBT, etc.

It is particularly useful to have an individual thread in place for when the eventual re-building takes place on the site - whatever it might be.

Are there any plans for the site, post-demolition?

Demolition of estate initially covered on here in page 6 post 101

The area is part of GMBC redevelopment of Town Centre with new new build housing ( along with selected boroughwide developer ) etc as covered in other Gateshead area posts including recent post 712

The demolition I am led to believe is to be carried out in phases , up to 3 year duration

As for the Dunston Rocket lots of photo opportunities

Be very interesting to see whether scheme is approved.

From this , photographed by myself 23 May 2012 1500, signboard makes interesting reading compared to what is now proposed

I've just received a 'neighbour notification about planning applications' letter about this - hmmmmmmmm

If you are referring to the Heworth Hall proposal - no its not a demolition - A Grade Listed Building, but an additional building as:

This application proposes the erection of a single storey building located along the boundary with Pelaw Social Club. The footprint of the proposed data centre follows the historic footprint of a single storey glass house structure which existed previously.

Had occasion to visit Heworth Hall as a potential client the other week. Apparently much of the interior has been rearranged to suit office use, but the reception and a meeting room at least have been retained/restored in a grand style for the purposes of impressing visitors - which is definitely achieved.

Work has finally started on the conversion of the Honeysuckle on Coatsworth Road into a Tesco store. It is pretty low key at the moment with one van and a crew of five working internally.

[Ken O'Heed]

Some photographs of the conversion from pub to housing that has been ongoing for sometime

23 November 2011





28 August 2012 - still ongoing






And this link to Gateshead Planning Portal for scheme details

Just up the road a picture to show current position of Gardeners Arms pub that had recent fire




Wonder what will be the fate of this building
