Newcastle: The Close, Doves Warehouse
Author(s): RCHME
A three sided courtyard of warehouses of several builds, rebuilds and different constructional materials sited on the river front. The earliest sections would appear to be the southern half-timbered range and its eastern return and features in these ranges would suggest a late 16th or 17th century date. The southern half of the eastern range has been cased in brick in the 19th century but retains much of its original structure while the northern half has been almost entirely rebuilt. However, the former extent of this half-timbered range is indicated by the rubble section of the lower wall. The 3% storey masonry western range though incorporating archaic, perhaps medieval stone details, has a 19th century roof and internal structure and would appear to post-date the half-timbered range.
