Description
The Studio has a rich history and is an integral part of the surviving St. Thomas' Estate. This small rectangular brick building is believed to have been built by the pre-Raphaelite artist William Bell-Scott as an artist’s studio whilst living at 14 St. Thomas Street between 1857 and 1864. Since 1977 it has been sub-leased as a community centre for the tenants association, which is currently named the St Thomas’ and Leazes Community Association. LOCAL LIST
