Behind the old houses is the Corn Exchange, designed by the Newcastle architects John and Benjamin Green, and begun in 1838. The Exchange was incorporated into the Town Hall, built 1858-63. This was demolished in the 1970s. John Storey was a Newcastle artist who specialised in watercolours of buildings and city views. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | artists living in the North East watercolours small business buildings and views art North East artists made in the North East Newcastle shopping | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
