Sunderland Keel Square
This development has not been without its objections and disputes - the 1920's Neo classical building is of huge significance to the City's architecture and whilst there is a huge part of the facade has been maintain none of the interior remains.
There were some amazing features in there which sadly are no more.
That aside this renovation is very impressive. Now that the scaffolding is done and you get to see the full façade it does sit very well in this area of Newcastle City Centre.
Gateshead Trinity Square
Some of the few remaining original features are being restored like the original Carliol House Main Entrance.

The company was established as the Newcastle upon Tyne Electric Supply Company in 1889.
