Wallsend, The Green, Health Centre

Built in 1940. Has a strong well-informed Art Deco influence with smooth white natural Portland stone detailing and dark brown bricks and stark white pointing. Stretcher bond. Impressive doorways with chunky Portland stone mouldings including rounded pilasters with a faint Egyptian influence, probably once topped with lanterns. The heavy panelled timber doors have metal framed overlights with geometric glazing bar patterns. The west entrance has a sizeable loggia of hexagonal brick and tile columns, now enclosed with railings. Flat roof. Brick and Portland stone parapets with carved name 'Borough of Wallsend Health Centre' and date plates. A sundial is missing.
