Glad you picked this for your post Beth - I was having a look at this building last week when I was stuck on the bus on Market St - love the Griffins! - and hoped one day Alf or Mrs K might be able to tell us something about it……
It is very imposing, isn’t it? It is one of the few buildings in Newcastle that I have never wanted to see the inside of. Three for the price of one must have seemed like a bargain - police, fire service and magistrates’ court all under one roof. I gather it was contoversial at the time as six smaller police stations were closed and 49 people made redundant when it opened in 1934.
