EOW23 Close with Cooperage

Close, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, England.

The Cooperage was built in the 15th-century as a dwelling, converted to a cooperage (barrel manufacture), then in 1974 into a public house and restaurant.

It has a sandstone ground floor and timber-framed upper storeys with rendered infill. The jettied upper floors are topped with a pantiled roof. Researchers in the 1990s concluded that the present configuration dates from the mid 16th-century.

It was a popular meeting place for many generations until forced to close in 2009, following complaints from the residents of new flats nearby of noise. There is a current campaign to re-open the venue, but Fire Regulations may prove a standard too high for such an old building. Manners Ltd, a company connected to The Apartment Group, bought The Cooperage in 2010, but has not carried out any preservation work on the structure.

It is a disgrace that such an historic building is left to decay.

The Cooperage is a Grade II Listed Building.
