Gateshead Old Town Hall

Found this building while walking down West Street after visiting a pub. This magnificent Gateshead Old Town Hall is so eye catching.This building has a beautiful little clock tower in front of it. Btw it’s Grade II listed structure, constructed in the Gothic style with beautiful classical motifs. it stands an impressive 25 feet tall ,there's an inscription that reads presented to the Borough of Gateshead by Walter Willson

Beautiful old historic building, soon to be turned into a museum.

This is such a beautiful building that was gifted to the borough. Unfortunately it has been empty for a long time. Whether it was supposed to be a museum it still hasn't happened yet - and public building like this should not be sold - it should be run as a community centre. Gateshead in general is incredibly derelict and destitute nowadays, the high street is dead, all empty shop fronts and the old library next to this building is also boarded up. Every time I walk past this magnificent relic I am reminded of the sad and sorry state of the country.

Edificio de estilo Victoriano. Y cuando escribo este comentario está a la venta.

a old building.

This site is currently up for sale and not open to the public.

It's nice to see there are plans to make this old building into flats. Maybe plans for homes for the homeless - that would be a good plan, to give these people a chance:a - to have a home of their ownb - to give them a chance to get a jobc - to let them see they're as good as anyone else.
