Description
Designed by Ryder and Yates 1972. For pharmaceutical company Sterling Organics. Comprises three buildings providing a main entrance to the industrial complex, offices and a restaurant linked by covered walkways. There was a courtyard garden behind a façade wall. Glazed panels enclosed the internal garden, which were painted different shades of green. The external walls were clad in modular pre-cast concrete panels using white quartz aggregate. Each wall had a single bull's eye window with a tear duct from sill to the ground to allow water to run off. The façade of the open plan office was all glass with glass ribs. The directors' offices had Pittsburgh solar reflective glass windows. The reception area was clad in brick and lit by a curved roof light. The interview room had a curved roof light of mirror glass with spot lights behind. The entrance had a huge cantilevered canopy with a slender open pylon. Inside there was a mural by Peter Yates showing the molecular structure of paracetamol. The conference room off the reception has mirror glazing which repeated the pattern. The buildings were air-conditioned. The plant on the roof was sculptural. LOCAL LIST

The significance of the asset lies in its surviving architectural details as an example of modernist architecture by an influential local practice. It has group value with the other Ryder and Yates buildings in Killingworth.

Description
The workshops were built in two phases with the South East facing stone built single storey block being the earlier. The workshops contained the stores, blacksmiths, plummers, fitters and joiner's shop and contained a number of fire places and an internal tubway and probably dated from the sinking of the colliery. The rear extension to the building dated from the period 1899-1922, as did the majority of the buildings which formed the colliery site until the late 1980s. The colliery closed in 1985. The workshops were restored as units by the Tyne and Wear Building Preservation Trust in 1991 {1}. The workshops (Buttress House, Brenkley Way, Blezard Business Park) are now occupied by Mental Health Concern. LOCAL LIST
