Westgate House, Newcastle upon Tyne, Brutalist office block in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
The 46-meter concrete structure with 12 stories stood opposite Newcastle station, spanning across the eastern section of Westgate Road.
The building, completed in 1972, housed government agencies until 2001, when the Citizens Advice Bureau departed as its final occupant.
Channel 4's television series 'Demolition' featured the building, where viewers selected it among twelve structures warranting removal.
The demolition in 2006 required precise piece-by-piece removal methods due to adjacent buildings preventing controlled explosion techniques.
The 11th and 12th floors presented specific demolition challenges as their construction differed from the lower levels of the building.
