Guildhall, Newcastle upon Tyne, Grade I listed civic building at Quayside, Newcastle upon Tyne, England

The Guildhall features a neo-Grecian east end, classical north and south fronts, and stone detailing across its multi-period architectural structure.

Robert Trollope completed the main structure between 1655 and 1660, replacing an earlier building that burned down in the fire of 1639.

The Merchants' Court inside the building contains a 17th-century chimney piece and oak carvings that reflect the maritime trading heritage of Newcastle.

The building stands 92 feet long with a 30-foot-wide main hall, providing space for civic functions and public gatherings in central Newcastle.

The mayor's parlour displays paintings by George Bouchier Richardson depicting local scenes, including the old Tyne Bridge and Pandon Gate.
