Flats and maisonettes. 1975-78 for City of Newcastle upon Tyne by Ralph Erskine's Arkitektkontor;, site architect Vernon Gracie; strictural engineer, White, Young and Partners; main contractor Shepherd's Construction Ltd. In situ concrete cross wall construction, clad in strong brown, orange and buff patterned metric modular brick patterning to road elevations, red and buff brick to inner face, with elaborate timber detailing and white Eternit panels. Pale brick link block (Graham House) of concrete block construction, with red garden walls. Pale blue sheet metal roofs with projecting lift and stair towers rising to metal-clad points. 2-8 storeys. Perimeter wall block curving in gentle, rippling semi-circle from Byker Bank to the former railway cutting, and terminating in Tom Collins House. A link block (1-16 Dunn Street) separates Dunn Terrace into two and is joined at the main wall at second floor level by a bridge. The neighbourhood shop is beneath this junction. Two storey family maisonettes set within walled gardens on inner face, with smaller maisonettes above accessed from balconies on every third level. Dunn Terrace and Northumberland Terrace are the most brilliantly patterned of all the Byker blocks, with rich diaper and chevron patterns over four entrances cut through the wall, and patterning in contrasting brick forming the letters 'BYKER' in semi-abstract pattern. Salisbury House is mainly of red/orange brick. The inner face has soft green projecting individual balconies, and soft green fencing above garden walls. Erskine also designed the timber seating around the estate. The design of the wall reflected Newcastle's policy by the late 1960s of not placing family units above the ground floor, while the small upper maisonettes served the high proportion of elderly people then forming the Byker community.

'Railway works, now building trade warehouse and showroom. 1823, 1827 with later C19 and C20 alterations, burnt 1934. EXTERIOR: Brick, rendered and painted brick, partly steel clad, with slate and steel sheet roofs. Single storey and two storey. Main entrance on Orchard Street has late C20 double-gabled facade with modern windows. To left, a single storey brick range with a slate roof and 9 large windows with concrete lintels. Further blind brick ranges beyond with some blocked openings and a partly glazed roof. Blind north facade rendered and painted. South Street facade now rendered an painted, has large C20 access doorway to left with steel girder lintel and earlier cast iron lintel, now redundant above. Beyond to right, two small entrance doorways reached up two steps, with canopy. Beyond again to right, a two storey gabled section with various blocked doorways and an upper loft doorway flanked by two small windows. Beyond again, a blank wall topped by a continuous section of upper windows, then another large C20 access with steel lintel. Beyond a C20 casement with above round headed window retaining a fanlight, which may date from Stephenson's Works. Then a single, C20 casement on the ground floor and two similar windows above, a small timber-framed section with double doors below and a loft door above. Finally, the former office section, where Robert Stephenson had his office on the first floor (this has a C20 window, with a single door), and a further ground floor window beyond. INTERIOR. The interior retains some sections of plain C19 timber roof structure, and the upper room used by Stephenson as an office is still identifiable, though none of its original features survive. Many of the surviving walls correspond with the walls visible on the surviving maps, but since so many are covered over it is very difficult to assess how many of the walls are likely to be original. HISTORY: This building was used by George and Robert Stephenson as part of their original Railway Works, and thus possesses great historical significance as what is probably the world's first purpose-built locomotive factory. The 'Rocket' was built here is 1828-29. It has undergone considerable alteration, but originally it was in multiple use as a mill, fitting shops, furnaces, smithies, pattern shops etc. The earliest part of the building dates from c 1823, extended soon after in 1827: these are probably the earliest surviving parts of Stephenson's works. A severe fire in 1934 destroyed much of the upper structure.

This is a rare example of a large and important mid-C18 townhouse which retains some of it plan-form and a number of its most important rooms on the first floor. This house was known in the C18 as Waldie's House. It was owned by George Waldie, a Quaker banker, though the house was probably built for the Thomas Doubleday who paid Land Tax on the property in 1770. LISTED GRADE 2
