55 and 57 Westgate Road, Newcastle Upon Tyne. Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard, Cathy Tyers
Core samples were obtained from 33 pine timbers from what appeared to be two phases of roof construction of this very fine building at 55 and 57 Westgate Road, Newcastle upon Tyne. The analysis of these samples produced six site chronologies, NWCFSQ01–SQ06, comprising between two and ten samples. These site chronologies range in length from 80 to 190 rings. Despite being compared to an extensive collection of relevant reference material, none of the six site chronologies, or any of the remaining ungrouped pine samples, could be dated.
