Newcastle Civic Centre, Municipal building in Haymarket, Newcastle upon Tyne, England
The Newcastle Civic Centre features a 200-foot tower, spacious halls, grand staircases, and multiple public spaces spread across multiple floors.
The construction of this administrative center began in 1960 after replacing a Victorian Town Hall, with completion in 1967 and royal opening in 1968.
The building displays bronze sculptures including the River God Tyne at the entrance and seahorses at the tower by John Robert Murray McCheyne.
The center stands five minutes from Newcastle Central Station, fifteen minutes from Newcastle International Airport, and near numerous hotels and restaurants.
President Jimmy Carter visited the Civic Centre in 1977 and delivered a speech containing local dialect, commemorated by a stone in the grounds.
