Description: | The developer Richard Grainger started work on Eldon Square in 1825, using John Dobson's classically inspired designs. The housing blocks formed three sides of a square, and were completed in 1831. The fine fronts of the buildings were built in high-quality stonework. Eldon Square was an early phase of Grainger's major redevelopment of the centre of Newcastle. Today there is only one side of old Eldon Square remaining. The other two were removed in 1969 to make way for the Eldon Square Shopping Centre. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement artists living in the North East art North East artists designers shopping Newcastle | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
