NZ2664SE KENDAL STREET 1833/30/10132 Byker 22-JAN-07 (South side) 2-38 (even) with retaining walls

GV II*

Three short terraces of flats and houses. 1972-5 by Ralph Erskine's Arkitektkontor; site architect Vernon Gracie; structural engineer, White, Young and Partners; main contractor, Stanley Miller Ltd. Pale metric modular brick to timber frame, with blue and green weatherboarding. Blue metal roofs supported on plywood box beam purlins, and projecting blue and green porches to front. Timber windows with aluminium opening lights, some renewed in uPVC. Timber doors with glazed panel, some renewed in hardwood. Interiors not inspected. Retaining pale brick garden walls an integral part of the composition. In recognition that the Byker area had an elderly age profile when it was being redeveloped in the early 1970s, the Kendal Street area was developed with a number of units built as two flats which were capable of adaptation to houses should the need for more family accommodation arise, and this is well demonstrated by the number of units here, principally at the ends or next to the ends of terraces, which were designed for this conversion.
