Tom Collins House, Byker
Tom Collins House is a block of sheltered housing units located at the end of Dunn Terrace in Byker. Completed in 1978, the building by Ralph Erskine's Arkitektkontor AB architects, is one of the most visually prominent parts of the Byker Estate. It is Grade II* listed on the National Heritage List for England.[1] The building is named after the Labour politician who succeeded Arthur Gray as council leader in 1973. The naming of the building was said to be a failed attempt to appease Collins, who had strongly resisted Gray's ongoing redevelopment scheme for Byker.[2]
