Newcastle Assembly House: Tour and Talk – From Mansion House to Art House| A seat of 17th and 18th century power. A very special building like a grand country house planted in the middle of the city, quite dull from Westgate Road but very different from an unknown private courtyard. A treasure that could so easily have been lost in the 1970s.

Tour and Talk, from Roman Milecastle to Newcastle Arts Centre The history of the Arts Centre site goes back to the building of Hadrian’s Wall and a Milecastle Courtyard that is still in use. The fascinating story of this political, mercantile and cultural powerhouse is told on a guided tour. Tours last approx 40 minutes."
