SITEASS
This building has stylised architectural detailing typical of the period and is the most prominent building on the harbour front. It was built as a multi-functional commercial premises for Richard Irvin and Sons, fishing boat owners, fish salesmen and auctioneers. Irvin was a renowned pioneer of steam trawling, and was reputed to be the largest operator in the industry outside Peterhead in Scotland. Being such a large employer (with over 30 boats and hundreds of workers), Irvins ran a banking system for their own employees which was housed in the office range, which had a first-floor boardroom. This building is a large-scale, prominent and historically important example of the industrial-scale, specialist fishing port that was the creation of the last quarter of the nineteenth century, and was concentrated around the North Sea ports of England and Scotland.

SITEDESC
Offices, sale room, chandlers shop, workshops and warehouse of Richard Irvin and Sons. 1913. Red brick with ashlar dressings; slate roof to range on right, flat roof to steel-framed or reinforced concrete range to left. Two storey office range to right has bay windows and central window all with stone mullions. Swags carved in band above ground floor openings. Carved brackets to cornice. Pilasters with pyramidal finials to shop window. Warehouse range is four storeys with three arched openings and arched windows. Interior - timber and cast iron columns. Timber floors said to have marks where the nets were pinned out for repair. Reported to have oak panelling in range to the right {1}. This grade 2 listed warehouse in the Fish Quay Conservation Area is being converted into apartments, restaurant and offices. It was recorded by Tyne and Wear Museums beforehand. The four-storey brick warehouse was built for R. Irvin and Sons, fish salesmen and ship store merchants in 1913 and an office block was added alongside two years later. The façade is clad at ground floor level with buff ceramic tiles which look like ashlar stonework. Richard Irvin Jnr was also director of the African Fishing and Trading Company and the Southern Sailing and Whaling Company. An earlier gasometer was incorporated into the ground floor of the warehouse. One of the gas works outbuildings still survives. The Irvin Building is an early example of the use of reinforced concrete for the warehouse window and door lintels, pillars, beams, floors and ceilings supported by Rolled Steel Joists. Inside, the warehouse retains rails and hooks in the ceilings and a wheel for a pulley system used by net makers and a tinsmith. There was a workroom for the ‘herring net girls’ on the second floor. The three-storey office and banking building butts up against the warehouse. It is brick built with buff ceramic dressings and cladding, slender chimneys and a slate roof. The façade is decorated with scroll shaped brackets, a shaped tablet, an ashlar frieze, relief decoration in the form of a swag between two pilasters surmounted by rosettes and a modillion cornice. Inside, the ground floor has oak panelled walls, moulded cornices, and pedimented doors. The first floor board room has parquet flooring and a moulded plaster ceiling with a ribboned border and three ceiling roses. Irvin was a pioneer of steam trawling and was said to be the largest operator outside Peterhead in Scotland.
