Description
The structure of Pandongate House dominates the streets on to which it fronts, along with City House on the adjacent corner. The four storey large red brick building has large round arched windows on its ground floor, with stone surrounds and quoins and terracotta concentric circle designs beneath. The curved south east corner has three similar windows which are as tall as those on the main elevations but much narrower. The bays of the south and east elevations are divided by brick projections. The block is now undergoing a conversion to flats but will continue to hold its place as a fine landmark in its area. LOCAL LIST

The churchyard of St Ann is cherished for its tranquillity and harmony within the churchyard space and the fine views it affords of the Tyne. St Ann’s can be seen from the viewing platform of the Baltic Arts Centre and is a welcome splash of green in the urban landscape of the east of the city. The churchyard is a grassed area with trees on all sides of the church, and is enclosed by stone and brick walls. On the south side are graves and from this side the river and Gateshead Quayside can be seen {1}. The medieval chapel of St. Ann was built in 1344. 509 plague victims are said to have been buried in 'the meadows round St. Ann's Chapel' in 1597. Burials continued until 1762 when Aubone Surtees, Mayor, announced that the small ruinous chapel was to be replaced by a larger church. The church, by William Newton, was consecrated in 1768. No further burials took place until 1828 when a 54 year old merchant, George Henderson, was buried. In 1831 cholera victims were buried at St. Ann's. The last burial was in 1869. Around 30 headstones remain. These include the family monument of the Crawhall family. Joseph Crawhall (1793-1853) was a ropemaker and artist. He left Allendale for Newcastle aged 16 and began a ropemaking apprenticeship at a wooden shipyard at St. Peter's. In 1812 he took over St. Ann's Ropery opposite St. Ann's Church. The monument has been vandalised. Thomas Coulthard (1779-1829), brewer, is buried at St. Ann's but there is no surviving gravestone. In 1858 grave robber Jack the Beadle was working at St. Ann's. He was caught plundering coffins and was sentenced to 18 months in prison.

All Saint’s Cemetery on Akenside Hill is a small cemetery and is an area of open green space and peace in a closely built part of the city. The south west entrance gates consist of sandstone pillars joined by a wrought iron archway with a fine cross and sun motif. The cemetery is also significant for environmental reasons as it has two or three black poplar trees within its walls, a species which is under threat of extinction in the UK. LOCAL LIST

All Saint’s Cemetery on Akenside Hill is a small cemetery and is an area of open green space and peace in a closely built part of the city. The south west entrance gates consist of sandstone pillars joined by a wrought iron archway with a fine cross and sun motif. The cemetery is also significant for environmental reasons as it has two or three black poplar trees within its walls, a species which is under threat of extinction in the UK {1}. Roger Thornton was buried at the medieval All Hallows church in 1429 under an altar tomb with his wife. The tomb disappeared when the medieval church was demolished in 1786 but the memorial brass which covered the tomb can be seen in St. Nicholas Cathedral. The will of Allan Dixon, ropemaker, in 1570 directed that he was to be buried in the south east nook of the chancel of All Hallows. That of John Havelock in 1570 directed that he was to be buried near his mother-in-law in the church. George Dent, a gentleman, was to be buried before the pulpit in 1572. When the new All Saints Church was built in 1785, no graves were to be made within the church. Inside the church there is a plaque to its architect David Stephenson who died in 1819. His table tomb has disappeared from the churchyard. There is also a tablet to Edward Moises, son of the headmaster of Newcastle Grammar School, who drowned in 1813. When All Saints Church was built, several adjoining houses were compulsorily purchased and demolished to extent and enclose the churchyard. On 8 January 1802 30 yards of the churchyard wall collapsed onto Silver Street. Many coffins and human bones were exposed. In 1866 the Northern Daily Express reported that boys from Silver Street used the churchyard 'as a playground, dig up the bones with which the soil teems and dispose of them to the marine store dealers'. A number of skulls and other human remains were said to litter the churchyard. In 1882 much of the churchyard was laid out as a garden. Notable graves - William Batson (1743-1826) corn merchant and banker, Richard Burdon (1721-1810) publican, brewer and landowner, Joseph Garnett (1772-1861) chemist, Dr John Hall (1733-1793) physician, Rev. Edward Moises (1763-1845) headmaster of Newcastle's Royal Grammar School, William Scott (1696-1776) hostman and publican, John Stokoe (1756-1836) house carpenter and architect, Edward Walker (1768-1831) editor of the Newcastle Courant {Morgan 2004}.

Description
This former biscuit factory in Shieldfield recently underwent a sensitive restoration and conversion into a popular art gallery and restaurant. This new status has brought attention to the industrial past of the Shieldfield area, which had many factories in the nineteenth century. The three storey building is stone and brick. The heavily rusticated ground floor has six arched windows in sandstone surrounds, the windows of the upper floors are separated by brick pilasters. On the Stoddart Street frontage the central pilasters rise to support a pediment above a large single plate window. LOCAL LIST

The People’s Theatre is a landmark in its setting; the green pantile roof contrasts with the red brick with stone detailing and makes the art deco style building stand out from its surroundings. The building is beloved of many theatregoers in the city and those who recall its initial use as a cinema. Originally opened in January 1936, the Lyric Cinema was constructed by Thomas Clements and Sons to the design of Marshall and Tweedy architects of Newcastle. In 1959 the cinema was bought by the People’s Theatre (established 1911) and converted in to an arts centre. The theatre remains in use and hosts local and amateur productions as well as national touring productions. The centre is also the home of the Young People’s Theatre, which was established in 1963.

Description
Millfield House is well-known to visitors to Jesmond Dene as it now serves as the visitor centre and rangers’ headquarters. In 1870 it was owned by a Newcastle banker, Robert G. Hoare, who commissioned the architect Frank W. Rich to build an extension on the west side and it is from this period that the name ‘Millfield House’ came into use. The three storey brick house is built on an L plan with a slate roof. The account for the 1876 extension by Frank West Rich is in the Armstrong archive in Tyne and Wear Archives. Millfield House is unconnected with the industrial and commercial site of Busy Cottage (with the possible exception of some masonry ni the cellar). The building is of interest because of its quirky additions made by an architect known for showy structures, and as a well known landmark in the parkland of the Ouseburn Valley. LOCAL LIST
