| Bewick
Court is a 19 storey residential tower block
that sits on top of a platform that spans
John Dobson Street in Newcastle city
centre. It was built as part of the
redevelopment of the city in the 1970s, a
story that was retold in the BBC drama
series "Our Friends in the North".
This project, that was meant to rejuvenate
an area in decline, ended up with charges of
corruption being laid against prominent
individuals. In recent times the tower has been re-clad and inside the living spaces have been refurbished. It is home to 133 one and two bedroom apartments and is owned and managed by the North British Housing Association. |
