Worswick Street Bus Station (Demolished)


A bus station was built on Worswick Street, Newcastle, in c.1929. It was built shortly after the opening of the Tyne Bridge, which enabled many bus services, which previously terminated in Gateshead, to continue on to Newcastle. The bus station was an open shed design, covered by a light roof on a steel frame, with an Art-Deco-style stucco building with three bays. The bus station closed in 1996, after which it was used as a car park for many years. Finally, the old bus station was demolished in 2021, with redevelopment of the area.
