a derelict shambles undergoing a major restoration. Our 'New
Shop' at 57 had been trading as Woolfes, a picture framer
and art materials dealer since 1924 and in 1982 we took it
over to acquire a presence on the street and a much needed
revenue stream. Back then we began as the smallest of seven
art shops in Newcastle, and many long A full programme of restoration is
