Guildhall
"The east end of this complex building is a neo-Grecian remodelling of a medieval building, completed by Dobson in 1823-5. The main structure was built in the period 1655-60 by Robert Trollope, a mason from York, but was given a conventional classical north front in 1794-6 by Stephenson and Newton, and a classical south front in 1809 by John and William Stokoe. The first reference to a guildhall in Newcastle, probably on this site, occurs in 1400. LISTED GRADE 1" (Tyne and Wear SiteLines)
