Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

‘Potts Houses’ High Density Housing was common to Newcastle Upon Tyne, stretching in lengthy terraces, and following a ‘Grid-Iron’ layout. SCENE 1 shows a typical Street-Scene, and SCENE 2 the ‘Service Access.’ Potts Houses were in fact ‘Apartments’ – The Ground Floor having 2 Bedrooms and the First Floor 3, although there were many variations on the basic theme. This also applied to the rear Kitchen & Bathroom extension; some having pitched roofs and others flat. Predominantly built during the 1920s and 1930s, these were not Local Government Social Housing. They were built by private developers, exploiting demand for Shipyard Workers along the River Tyne. SCENE 3 shows a location present day location in Wallsend. #POTTS_HOUSE #NEWCASTLE #WALLSEND #TYNE #RESIDENTIAL #HOUSING #APARTMENTS #FLATS #ARCHITECT #PHILIPPINES #RIZAL #ANTIPOLO #SAMANIEGOMORGAN
