TomYam Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 10 hours ago, Nun tumblers said: Could they not remove Leazes terrace brick by brick and rebuild it at Spital tongues or morpeth or summat. This is a trip into a world of fairies and unicorns and other fantasy, but IF the authorities were to consider moving Leazes Terrace elsewhere they be compelled to move dozens of other buildings too. Essentially most, of not all, of Leazes Village Conservation Area. Certainly Leazes Crescent , St.James Place and St.Thomas Street/Crescent/Square. They were built over the same period (c.1830-1840) and together they form a group value of national significance with Leazed Terrace the crowning glory. So in order to increase the size of the football stadium by 10% you'd be willing to remove Newcastle's most architecturally distinguished neighbourhood?

Id respectfully disagree that Leazes Terrace is architecturally distinguished. It looks exactly the same as most of the city centre flats/apartments. If it disappeared tomorrow only a few hundred students would miss it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking hell, it’s a beautiful terrace architecturally, historically and rare in that it’s actually city centre living. Aye, but let’s knock it down. And it’s not just students living there, I know several people that live there and we’ve contemplated buying a flat there in the past and would if money was affordable, buy one tomorrow.

And there's a hundred more which look identical in the city going out to Jesmond.

I'd respectfully say you don't have a clue what you're talking about. People with the actual qualifications, knowledge and experience to assess these things have a very different view. As someone who is perhaps more qualified than most on this forum to give a view on this, it is a stunning example of Georgian architecture and of obvious significant heritage value. It has been a listed building since the 1950s and is Grade I listed, which puts it in the top 2.5% of significance of all listed buildings.

Thats a rather bold statement considering you don't actually know what i do or where i work, and having seen your previous posts I'd guess you either live in Leazes Terrace, or have some vested interest in it remaining.

STM Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I've said it before and I will say it again, we should work WITH the council to find a solution. It's also massively in the councils interests to help SJP expand and respect the cultural/traditional importance of the stadium. They should get their heads together and look for solutions. If that means NUFC paying extra to be given permission to make serious changes, then so be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosevasion area my arse who decided that the same daft c**ts that are making the byker wall a listed building . I'd make the fookers live there for a year. Who gives a flying **** about Leazes tce SJP is far more important than anything else in the city centre. I'd also put fat mike in a concrete overcoat and stick him in the foundations of the new East stand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I'd say Leazes Terrace should only be considered altering/moving if the East Stand side of the stadium was to be considerably increased in capacity. For example, extending Level 7 all the way around it and therefore increasing overall SJP capacity to around the 80k mark. Until then there's no point really discussing it. But I have no doubt that a more efficiently designed East Stand could replace the existing one, on roughly the same footprint, to give a pretty decent increase in capacity over the existing eyesore.

I have a better solution, knock the bridges down, build across the river making it a symbolic northern powerhouse. Knock the sage down and just bin the contents, keep the shell and make it a train/ bus station. All that green space where the Angel of the North is, perfect training facility and the melted down Angel will provide all the goal posts and outbuildings anyone could want We just need to think clever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
