Sallyport Crescent


Sallyport Crescent is a terrace of houses off City Road in Newcastle. It is close to, and overlooked by Sallyport Tower. The crescent is the earliest surviving council-built houses in Newcastle, having been constructed in 1913-1916, under the supervision of Mr Halford, Property Surveyor to the Corporation.[1] The crescent is made up of 44 flats, with rear yards enclosed by low walls. The houses were renovated in the mid-1980s and the gable end (north end) has a distinctive mural by Robert Olley.
