A Newcastle builder unveiled plans in July 1966 to convert disused shipping chambers on the corner of Surtees and George Streets into a night club, discotheque, jazz cellar and restaurant at a cost of £40,000. Plans were passed and the club opened early the following year as The Collingwood Club.

It was a club for a number of years and the building still exists.

Taken in 1978, this is the DHSS Office in Surtees Street which was demolished around 2010(?)

The Baltic Chambers were where the offices of some shipowners were situated including that of Furness-Withy and Pyman. It was at the Mainsforth Terrace end of Surtees Street area although a Baltic Chambers 8-10 Charles St (nearby) is listed as being accessed by troops in 1914 on A WW1 website.

Detail from Druids Hall which was on the corner of Surtees Street and Tower Street and was used as a place of entertainment and a county court. The date on the plaque shows when it was opened in 1863.

Plan for The Exchange Building

Provision Merchant Thomas Furness, brother of Sir Christopher, had  large offices and works in Surtees St in the late 1890s. This property can be seen on the image  Surtees 2 and the weather vane can be seen on both.

Taken in 1966, this rather large building was originally the offices and works of Thomas Furness, brother of Sir Christopher Furness.

Thomas Furness was a provision merchant with a large business covering the whole of the North East and importing from the continent, New Zealand and America. The company also had a lard factory in the Belle Vue area. The lard was marketed throughout the UK in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

See Furness Works to compare the image with this one.

Photo was  taken in 1966 and is described as Surtees St.

Large building is dated 1866 and the word 'galleries ?' can be seen over the right hand windows.

The bars over the windows suggest that the building was latterly used as warehousing. The building on the right of the picture is possibly Mainsforth Terrace railway station although a 1914 map suggests that it may not have  been visible from Surtees St ??

Surtees Street (?), 1966. Teenage fashion of the day -  the lads are Peter Forsyth, John Cooke and Ray Stamper. As for the girls, we only know Penny Dixon on the right, and that the blonde girl's name might be Norma.
