Just across the road from where I live. Police had the area closed off for about 8 hours last night, aerial platform and several fire pumps in attendance all night.Large fire at Stereo earlier on, looks like major damage, the roof is pretty much gone. Foul play apparently.

FIREFIGHTERS were called to a blaze which ripped through a former nightclub after a suspected arson attack.
Crews from Colby Court, West Denton and Gateshead spent more than two hours extinguishing flames at the former Stereo Nightclub, in City Road, Newcastle.
And police are now investigating the cause of the fire, which was reported shortly before 5.45pm yesterday.
The property was severely damaged by the fire but no on was injured. A Tyne and Wear fire spokesman said: “Firefighters were called to the incident at 5.45pm and were on scene until 8.10pm.

It looks a bit like a school, and there was a school called 'The Royal Jubilee School' near there.
I'm not certain, others may know.
Yes NH, it was the Royal Jubilee School - Salvation Army Hostel is now on that site.It looks a bit like a school, and there was a school called 'The Royal Jubilee School' near there.
I'm not certain, others may know.
It is a noble, chaste, and substantial building, from a plan furnished by Mr. John Dobson, architect. In its erection, two objects were professedly in view; one to provide the requisite conveniences for the new course of instruction, the other to erect a durable monument of public respect to a venerable monarch in the 50th year of his reign.
Great pic, any idea of the date?Yes NH, it was a school. At the corner of City Road and Jubilee Road. Now the Salvation Army Hostel.

Agreed.I live in City Rd. right next to the sally bash.The constant drug dealing/use, illegal street drinking, fighting,begging, threatening behavior and general disorder caused by the residents is a pain.Which causes no end of problems around this area - even the local police have said it is the reason for general nuisance.
