Henderson Hall, Grade II listed building in Heaton, Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

The red brick building features ashlar dressings, plain tile roofs, and a U-shaped layout with fourteen windows across its east front.

Built between 1929 and 1932, Henderson Hall served as the first male residence hall for Durham University's Armstrong College, now part of Newcastle University.

Former residents of Henderson Hall include notable British entertainers Rowan Atkinson and Bryan Ferry during their university studies in Newcastle.

The three-story structure contains multiple common areas, including a main hall with a piano and various dormitory rooms with preserved period features.

A 2023 fire required fifty firefighters to control the blaze, which caused extensive damage to the roof of this heritage-designated structure.
