Description
"Ellison Place was named after Cuthbert Ellison, Sheriff of Newcastle in 1544 and Mayor in 1549 and 1554. No. 1 Ellison Place was used as accommodation of visiting judges in 1866 and became the City's second Mansion House in 1886. No. 6 Ellison Place was the home of William Boutland Wilkinson (1819 - 1892) who was the inventor of reinforced-concrete building (using wire ropes to bind the concrete). A reinforced-concrete cottage was in this location until the 1950s. On the right, over the car park, is MEA House, built in 1974 using similar technology [[1681916]]" Photo by Andrew Curtis, 2010. -
