Description
This building was listed Grade II* in 1983 with the following description:
'Former engine manufactory of Robert Stephenson & Company. Boiler/plate shop and administrative offices c.1849-59 as part of the Stephenson Company Factory. EXTERIOR: Boiler shed red brick; offices hard white brick with tooled ashlar dressings; Welsh slate roof with glazed skylight strips. Former offices are on South Street front at NE of site, with former boiler shed an irregular L-plan around them with full length double span N-S roofs at west. East elevation to South Street has former boiler shed to left, former offices at right: 1 and 2 storeys, 4 and 8 windows. At left, former boiler shed has wide loading door and vehicle entrance below reused large bellied iron beam, made up of riveted sections and with central hole as in a pivoting beam, inserted below heads of 4 round-arched brick windows all now blocked. The rear wall of the boiler shed, to the former Sussex Street, is an impressive feature, being largely glazed and having the original frames with glazing bars. On South Street the former offices at the right are in a domestic style with stone plinth, first floor and sill bands, and eaves cornice. All brick openings have outward splay. Chamfered projecting plain stone surround with cornice to double leaf 4 panel door and plain overlight in 7th bay; wider double door with 4 flush panels and plain overlight in 3rd bay; flush door and plain overlight inserted in former window opening in 5th bay. first floor band. Sashes with fine glazing bars have sill bands and wedge stone lintels. Stone eaves gutter cornice. INTERIOR of 8 bays is domestic in layout with 6 panel doors in the two main upstairs rooms to the east - formerly the Managing Director's room and the Boardroom and 4 panel doors in the Drawing Office with a large chimney piece in the MD's room and slightly smaller ones in the remaining offices. Some C20 features including a chimney piece and office fittings, and wall hatches. The stair opposite the main door in a rounded projection into the boiler shed, is of c. 1840 character with winding stone steps which had decorative cast-iron balusters with narrow mahogany handrail. It leads to a long corridor which opens into a further office, behind this domestic building, inserted as first floor timber-framed projection over boiler shed, supported on iron columns of the shed which have curved braces to the roof beam. It is glazed above the dado. At the north end of the rear office a large list is inserted. Behind this office range, the boiler shed has 2 parallel ranges, the eastern range of 13 bays, the western of 17, supported on the west by the large glazed brick wall, and internally on tapered round cast-iron columns with curved longitudinal bracing to beams. The eastern roof has strutted king posts, the western has queen posts with small king posts resting on the collar. HISTORY: The western range was probably erected first c. 1849 together with the western range of No. 18, South Street [now demolished]. Both were built on the site of the former boiler/plate shed. The building was rapidly extended eastwards incorporating new offices c. 1859, built to replace the first company offices erected in 1823. Slight internal adjustments made c. 1867, such as the raising of the floor level and steps in the two northern office rooms plus a very small area of the northern workshop wall. Under the 1867 lease there was necessary agreement for rebuilding due to the demolition of Foster's Court and the extension of the offices northwards. The lease also states that Robert Stephenson & Co. were already in occupation of the premises now called No. 20, South Street. The large boiler/plate shop and offices retain many of their original features. These structures are of interest as examples of relatively un-altered industrial buildings of the 1840s-60s and gain additional importance from having been part of the R Stephenson Co. locomotive factory which occupied the site between 1823 and 1902.' LISTED GRADE 2*
SITEASS
In 1990 the Robert Stephenson Trust took over the lease from the Virgin Mary Trust. Grant aid was provided by English Heritage for the restoration. Many other organisations also provided money including the City Council. Phase One works - in 1994 the building was made wind and watertight through limited roofing work. A wired cage lift was removed. Phase Two works - in 1997 the permanent roof was completed, floor joists and boards replaced due to wet and dry rot. All plasterwork within the offices had to be removed, all timber partitions demolished. The moulded cast iron gutter to the west elevation was replaced. The salvaged roof slates were stolen from site so had to be replaced. New windows with rebated glazing bars were fitted. Inside a new mezzanine floor was installed. The wide oak staircase leading up from the workshop was repaired. Planning consent was granted for the use of the workshop as a temporary carpark which brought in an income. The building was occupied by One North East until 2007. In 2000 the lean-to was demolished. Phase Three works - timber framed partitions were installed in their original position, panelled doors with rim locks, brass handles, finger plates and nameplates, walls were replastered, plaster cornices copied from the original mouldings, architraves, skirtings and picture rails. A new timber staircase was fitted. The stone curved staircase with fitted with cast iron treads, a cast iron balustrade and wooden handrail with mahogany stain. New ground floor toilets were installed and a small kitchen on the first floor. New drainage and a new cast iron fireplace fitted in the Board Room to replace one that had been stolen. Windows were installed between the mezzanine and workshop. The original offices had neither heating nor electricity so instead of ceiling lights and fixed radiators, standard lamps and oil filled radiators were used. The walls were painted in the same colours as had been found during a paint scrape. Woodwork was dark brown or green. Floors were sanded and sealed. The building was furnished. The Trust was loaned the original Robert Stephenson & Co. 1823 Grasshopper engine from Birmingham Museum. Housed on the ground floor of the workshop it became a visitor attraction. A disabled access lift was installed and a stone flagged pavement provided level access into the building. Unfortunately the Trust were obliged to surrender their lease and vacate the building on 28 February 2009.

The formality and the uniformity of the materials and detailing creates a harmonious appearance to the front facades. They are two-storey, three bay plain brick faced with ashlar dressings for the wedge stone lintels, sills, continuous sill bands and gutter cornice. Sash windows with glazing bars, panelled front doors set in deep reveals, some with pedimented doorcases and full-height brick pilasters. Refurbished in the late 1970s. A 'model' conservation project. The small front gardens are bounded by black spear headed metal railings. Owned by Home Housing Association {CA Character Statement, 2000}.

SITEASS
The Georgian/Early Victorian style town house terraces of the St. Thomas Estate are the epitome of timeless elegant city living. The formality and the uniformity of the materials and detailing creates a harmonious appearance to the front facades. They are two-storey, three bay plain brick faced with ashlar dressings for the wedge stone lintels, sills, continuous sill bands and gutter cornice. Sash windows with glazing bars, panelled front doors set in deep reveals, some with pedimented doorcases and full-height brick pilasters. Refurbished in the late 1970s. A 'model' conservation project. The small front gardens are bounded by black spear headed metal railings. Owned by Home Housing Association {CA Character Statement, 2000}.
