County Hall, Grade II listed building in Castle Garth, Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
County Hall stands on Castle Garth as a classical stone building with carefully detailed architecture. Its main facade displays thirteen bays with Doric columns framing a central section, while an extension stretches the structure down toward the Side area.
The building opened in 1910 as the administrative headquarters for Northumberland County Council and served this role until 1981. It replaced an earlier structure called the Moot Hall as the region's main government center.
The building serves today as a hotel that welcomes visitors and locals alike. Its transformation into a gathering place has given it new life while respecting what came before.
The building now operates as a hotel welcoming guests while preserving its historic features. Visitors can explore the original architectural details throughout the interior and exterior spaces.
An extension completed in 1933 was designed by architects Cackett, Burns Dick, and McKellar. This addition demonstrates how the building adapted to meet the growing administrative needs of its time.
