Ellison Place
Ellison Place is a street in the centre of Newcastle. The street was significantly altered and several buildings were demolished for the construction of the Central Motorway, which opened in 1973. Nos. 1-5 Ellison Place (aka Ellison Terrace) were built in 1810 and are now mailnly used by Northumbria University. The street is visually dominated by MEA House, which spans over the road, and was built in 1974 to house community organisations. The north end of the street, beyond MEA house, has several buildings of Northumbria University, incluing the Ellison Building (1960s), and also the Church of the Divine Unity (1940). At this end of the street is a footbridge over the motorway to the University's City Campus East. Notable past residents of Ellison Place were Dr Ethel Williams (1863-1948), who was a Suffragist and Newcastle's first female doctor, and Cardinal Basil Hume (1923-1999), who was born at No. 4, Ellison Place.
