Blue plaque at Greenfield Terrace
This 1820's built terrace lies behind Westgate Road in Newcastle. The plaque records that the famous engineer Robert Stephenson lived here between 1829-33.
Newcastle's 'new' co-op was built on Newgate Street in 1932. Although 'art decor' in style, it gave more than a nod to Egypt where Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb had just taken place. See http://www.timmonet.co.uk/html/newcastle_co-op.htm
