Shown on 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map. This is presumably the United Methodist Chapel and schoolroom which was converted into the Tivoli Picture Hall before July 1908. The chapel was built in 1873 and was a Gothic gable-fronted chapel with smaller schoolroom attached. The first owner of the cinema was J.A. Lauder, a conjuror. He later left to manage the New Empire in Jarrow. There was a fire on 15 April 1910 which damaged the stage and destroyed the pianoforte. While the Tivoli was closed, plans were drawn up by architect J.J. Hill for a small stage and up to 300 seats. In February 1911 the cinema was leased to the British Canadian Animated Picture Co. They had offices in Station Chambers on Neville Street. They also ran the Star Cinema in Easington Lane and the Central in Swalwell. The Tivoli was very basic. A white sheet was hung up at the front and the projector was placed on a small wooden platform. The success of the nearby Raby Cinema probably forced the Tivoli to close in 1912. The Building became part of Numol's factory in 1919.

Redheugh
Description
The Redheugh estate, held of the Bishop of Durham since the thirteenth century by the Redheugh family. It passed to the Whites, then to the Liddells in 1619 and in 1748 it was bought by Adam Askew, a doctor from Newcastle, for his son Henry. The Askews held the estate until the 1870s, but the house was often tenanted. It was a late seventeenth century house, enlarged in the mid eighteenth century, probably by the Askews, with two wings. A pedimented porch was also added and Venetian windows in the wings. A fine doorcase of c.1760 in the drawing room, with a richly carved cornice supported on consoles, was illustrated in "The Architect" in 1912. The setting of the house was ruined when the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway was built between the house and River Tyne. In 1835 the house was leased to William Cuthbert, glass manufacturer from Newcastle. The Askew family moved south. The railway was moved in 1839 but the estate was put up for sale in 1850 as building plots for villas. It was unsold until 1871 when the Redheugh Bridge opened, increasing access to the site from Newcastle. Much of the land was built on, but the Hall stood empty. In 1912 it was a storehouse, with hay held in the eighteenth century drawing room. Then it was sold to the Redheugh Colliery Company. A fire in 1920 left the Hall roofless. The ruins were demolished in 1936 by the International Voluntary Service for Peace.
