Former gardens of asylum (HER 6868) sold to 3rd Northumberland Artillery regiment whol built a large Drill Hall and gym in 1869. The hall was open plan at ground floor level and was extended in 1875. In 1890 the hall was aquired by chemist John MacKay and converted to a warehouse and factory of aerated mineral water. This was enlarged in 1907-1910. Mackay and Co were still producing water at Corporation Street until after 1964. The building was demolished in the 1990s.

Since 1994 the building has been The People's Kitchen, offering food, friendship and warmth to homeless people. The building is largely unaltered apart from the rear which has changed considerably. The Sunday School on the 1897 plan is no longer present and the yard at the back contains a single storey modern extension. The sandstone boundary wall behind the building is in good condition.

Shown but not named on Hutton's plan of Newcastle 1770. Named on plan of 1827. A public bath house in extensive gardens. The baths were built in 1781, opening on 1 May. They consisted of medicated vapour baths, tepid and enclosed cold baths and a large open bath for swimming. The water supply for the baths came from the Skinner Burn. The sinking of a mine shaft at Helmsley Main disrupted the water supply to the baths and parts of them were closed down in the 1820s. They were demolished by 1860. This was Newcastle's earliest baths. Entry would have only been for subscribers, at a typical price of a minimum of one shilling, which was too expensive for the majority of people. The baths were designed by William Craneson. They were commissioned by a Dr Hall and two surgeons, Henry Gibson and R Bryan Abbs. The baths were 'elegantly and completely fitted up' with separate cold plunge baths for ladies and gentlemen and a mineral water 'Buxton Bath'. The large open swimming bath was outside in the garden.
