Near to the Mansion House (HER 6615) there was a chapel of United Secession in 1751 (Ryder says 1765). In 1843 the congregation moved to the Scotch Church on Blackett Street.

A Presbyterian chapel was built on the corner of Blackett Street and Grainger Street, partly on the site of Fickett Tower (HER 1547) in 1826. John Dobson designed it - it had a pillared portico and pediment in Greek style. Internal difficulties within the chapel led to a financial crisis and soon the congregation began to dwindle. In 1830 the Church of Scotland refused to renew the licence designating St. James' as a Presbyterian Church. In 1833 St. James became a Congregational Church, the Independent Church having joined with the Presbyterians. In 1839 St. James opened a Sunday School in Pandon and collaborated with other nonconformist churches in founding the Union Day School in Pink Lane for girls from poor families. Due to the success of the Sunday School, the chapel was demolished in 1858 to construct a bigger church with a Sunday School and facilities for weekday activities. The second St. James Church opened in 1859. Wilkes and Dodds describe it as an "appalling later aberration of Gothic revival". It had a schoolroom at basement level, and the church and gallery above. The church moved to new premises in Bath Road (Northumberland Road) in 1881. The YMCA was built here in 1900.

Built in 1828 by Grainger from subscriptions from the Northumberland Institution for the Fine Arts and from the Corporation of Newcastle. It was built as a direct result of the increasing fame of local artists T.M. Richardson (landscape painter born in Newcastle in 1784) and Parker (portrait and animal painter from Davenport). The two artists had shared premises at 3 Brunswick Place. The Academy opened on 11th June 1828 with an initial exhibition of 315 watercolours, 11 pencil drawings and dozens of busts and models. The star attractions were models of St. Paul's Cathedral, London and St. Peter's, Rome loaned from the museum at Ravensworth Castle. In September 1832 the Academy changed hands and became known as "The Newcastle upon Tyne Institution for the General Promotion of Fine Arts". On 6th April 1840 the Newcastle upon Tyne Polytechnic Exhibition was held. The exhibition filled the entire Academy and the properties either side, and a gallery was built over High Friar Street. The exhibits included machinery and apparatus (Mechanics Institute of Newcastle and Gateshead) and a concentration of objects of value, interest and rarity from all across the world (some loaned by John Hancock, the naturalist), plus a collection of Old Masters and a display of costumes from many nations. It ran for five months attracting a quarter of a million visitors. The Academy was later leased to Mr. Charles Brough, an auctioneer. It was later purchased by Messrs. Davison & Sons, auctioneers. In 1946 it became the Central Dance Studios. Finally demolished circa 1963.

The new Moot Hall was began in 1810. Designed by John [McCombie says William] Stokoe, as Northumberland County Court and Prisons, but called the Moot Hall because it replaced the medieval one (HER 6540). It was finished in 1812. Rev. John Hodgson said in 1812 that it was "expected to be one of the finest and purest specimens of Grecian architecture ever attempted in Britain". Thomas Sopwith said in 1838 that the architectural details were copied from the Temple of Theseus at Athens. Whilst the internal space rendered hearing and seeing poor, he admitted that it "exalted the attractiveness of Newcastle as a town". Pevsner says it is an early example of the confident use of the Greek Doric order, made more striking by the high quality of the sandstone ashlar. The portico has four columns with pediment. In 1877 W. Crozier, Durham County Architect, blocked the south portico, inserted windows in blank bays and extended the north steps, lessening the impact of the portico. This last alteration was reversed in 1984 when the building was converted into a Crown Court. Greek revival style. The Grand Jury Room is lit by chandelier. There are two traditional oak courtrooms dating from 1875 with trapdoors in the docks which lead to the cells below, which retain their original studded doors and shackle rings. Both courts have Judge's benches with oak canopies and public viewing galleries. The Moot Hall is still used as a court room. McCombie - County Court and Prisons for Northumberland. The first local government building of 19th century in Newcastle and its most severe example of Greek Revival. The high quality of the sandstone ashlar is comparable with that at Belsay Hall (1807-17). Original steps restored in the 1980s when the Napper Collerton Partnership converted the building to a Crown Court.
In 2018 a heritage statement was compiled by Archaeological Services Durham University to assess the potential for altering the Moot Hall for contemporary use.

John Wesley founded an orphan house in Northumberland Street outside the Pilgrim Gate in 1743. It was never used as an orphanage but became the base for Wesley and his fellow preachers' activities in the north and the local headquarters for Methodism. Wesley was here in 1745 when the town was fortified against the army of Bonnie Prince Charlie. The Orphan House was outside the town walls but Wesley was confident: "Nay, but the Lord is a wall of fire to all that trust in Him…". Cost £600 (Dolbey says £700). Thomas Oliver (1844) reported that an infant school was held in the ground floor of the orphan house, which was formerly a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel. The orphan house was entered from a piazza 25 feet 10 inches x 6 feet 3 inches. The inner lobby was 17 feet 10 inches x 3 feet 5 inches. The school was 30 feet 6 inches x 38 feet 1 inches. There was a platform to the north on ten steps. There was a gallery above the school room with 8 dwelling rooms entered by a staircase of 36 steps from the south end of the piazza. The main centres of early Methodism were London, Bristol and London. The Orphan House was the third Methodist centre to be built, and the first Methodist place of worship in the North of England. Wesley opened the building within 3 months of laying the foundation stone, even though it had no roof, doors or windows! The building was intended to be used as a place of worship, a school, an orphanage, hospital, hostel and theological institution. The Orphan House was replaced by a French Renaissance style Sunday School in 1857. This in turn was replaced by Barratt's shoe shop in 1955. A plaque is located on the front of the shop.

John and Benjamin Green designed the classical corn exchange which was built on the site of Middle Street on 30 October 1839. In 1858-63 John Johnstone erected the town hall above it in an Italian Renaissance style. It was disliked by everyone who wrote about it. As well as council offices, it contained shops, the corn market and a large concert hall. In 1939 the town hall clock tower was removed because it was feared that if the tower was hit in an air raid people could be killed by falling masonry. Demolished 1973 having been replaced by the Civic Centre in 1968. Stone carvings, door surrounds etc have been salvaged from the town hall and were reset into the exterior retaining wall on Prudhoe Chare in 1976.

The original assembly rooms lay opposite the garden of St. Johns Vicarage (HER 6666). In 1736 the assembly rooms were demolished and moved to a new site in the Groat Market. In 1776 the assembly rooms were rebuilt opposite the original site in "the pleasantest part of the town inhabited by the clergy and gentry". The rooms were paid for by public subscription. Designed by William Newton 1774-6. Consists of two suites of rooms, the great ballroom on the upper floor, approached from the ground floor vestibule by a fine staircase and surrounding by subsidiary rooms. Cost £6700. Fitted with 7 Rococo chandeliers made of 10,000 pieces of hand-cut crystals. Charles Dickens played here on 27 August 1852. Strauss gave a concert on 21 October 1838. Edward VII, George V and George VI have visited the assembly rooms. In 1967 the building fell into repair and was proposed for demolition in 1974. However it was bought by the Michaelides family and restored to its former glory. On 31 December 1777 a young woman threw herself off the musician's gallery to her death on the ballroom floor below. Her ghost is said to haunt the building, accompanied by the rustling noise of a taffeta ball dress and the scent of lavender {Kirkup 2009}. Plasterwork of Adam type.
