Alderman Fenwick’s House. Alderman Fenwick’s house dates from the latter part of the 17th century and has been, in turn, a private residence, a coaching inn and a political club. The restoration of the building and its conversion for use as offices was carried out by the Tyne & Wear Building Preservation Trust and was completed in 1997. The Trust was assisted in the restoration by financial assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the European Regional Development Fund, English Heritage, Newcastle upon Tyne City Council and numerous local charities and individuals. Access to the public areas of the building is available by pressing entry phone number 6. Arrangements for parties to tour the building may be made by telephoning the Trust on 0191 260 2133.
