Description

The former home of Charlton’s Bond is a handsome building in the city centre of Newcastle. It was built in 1885 as a three storey duty free bond warehouse. Brick and ornate stone are used effectively to make the building look attractive, especially in its arched entrance and upper floors. The building also has a Tudor inspired chimney together with a weathervane. ‘Charlton’s Bonds’ is inscribed into the stone of the upper floor. LOCAL LIST
