Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition map. This building began life as the offices of the Tyne Brewery, built in 1870. In 1884 John Barras & Company bought the Tyne Brewery but sold the office block, which became St. Cuthbert's RC Grammar School. The Brewery re-purchased the school in 1923 and converted it into a bottling factory.
