Since this particular site looks highly likely to be sold off, I thought it might be pertinent to create a thread specifically about what is quite an iconic building in the centre of our city, and about what may become of it (whether converted into some other use, or torn down as a likely prime...

. This thread is for the discussion of issues relating to the two areas of Newcastle shown in the below MAP. The Woolsington and Dinnington areas of Newcastle, effectively those areas 'surrounding' Newcastle Airport . . . .

Coatsworth Road to be restored to Victorian splendour: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-13419572

. I couldn't find a logical thread to put this on (which is unusual, as we now seem to have threads that can cover most eventualities on the Newcastle Area Urbanism front) so I have started this new one. This can, if big things DO start happening, end up as the 'Project Thread' for the...

A new day dawns as Ponteland market shifts tack August 19th 2010, The Journal CHANGES are being made to a second Northumberland market, to attract traders and protect its future. A specialist farmers’ market has been held in Ponteland since 2000 to allow local producers to sell food and...

By now (May 2010) all of Newcastle, South Northumberland, North Tyneside and South Tyneside (though NOT so much Gateshead) have their own "Area Developments" threads. One area of North Tyneside though, that does not, is the 'Wallsend area' - immediately as you cross the City Boundary heading...

Don't know if anyone knew but one of the stands at Gateshead International Stadium is having some work done, it looks like they are adding a roof to the stand. It looks as though the frame is up and it looks quite decent, quite a 'wavy' roof instead of just a boring box one.

As part of our remit to cover issues and projects in South Northumberland, I notice that we do not have a thread for Tyne Valley Developments. So, I thought I should start one, as it is about the only part of our patch that we have not got covered now, and it starts with some disappointing...

. This thread has CHANGED its use . . . Originally, as can be seen from 'Post 2' onward, this thread was used for "all the developments" going on at the big three Newcastle Hospitals of 'The RVI', 'Freeman', and 'General'. However, there was such a lot of ongoing development at these three...

Theatre Royal plans to go back to the future February 20th 2010, The Journal A HISTORIC theatre has unveiled ambitious plans for a restoration that will transform it both inside and out. Newcastle’s Theatre Royal will take its audiences on a journey through time in a £4.75m revamp to...

By now (January 2010) quite a few areas of Newcastle, South Northumberland, North Tyneside, South Tyneside and Gateshead have their own "Area Developments" threads on our Forum. One area of North Tyneside though, that does not seem to have one is the Benton, Forest Hall and Killingworth area...

. There is one 'discrete' area of our City Centre, that I have long felt could well deserve a thread of its own . . . CHINATOWN. OK, some aspects could be covered on the 'retail' or the 'restaurants' threads . . or they may have a "Project Thread" of their own if needed, but I think it is a...

This thread can be used to post small developments in the city centre that aren't big enough to warrant their own thread and might fly 'under the radar' as a result. I'll start off with the refurbishment of Forth House into a Chinese Church. This was a controversial development 7 years ago that...

I have been asked to find out from your marvelous retail packed minds whether you feel a food outlet will perform well in the "new" (post extension completion) Clayton Street? Paninis, baguettes, soups, sandwiches, wraps, jacket spuds, coffees, cakes etc - in a nice setting with nice comfy...

For the news, rumours and discussion that doesn't yet merit its own thread.

. Here is the "Kenton, Gosforth and Fawdon, plus Wideopen" Area Developments Thread. This is the only one of our 'Area Developments' threads that includes areas from within more than one Local Authority, as it crosses the City Boundary from the Kenton, Gosforth and Fawdon areas of Newcastle...
