The photos of the Barber Surgeon’s Hall come to us courtesy of the excellent Newcastle Photo Archive which has a vast collection of online images, all showing Tyneside’s illustrious past.
The former Barber Surgeon's Hall is in Houston Street which can be found in the Summerhill area of Newcastle and has more than 170 years of history behind it.
It was built for the Company of Barber Surgeons and was the site for medical education and guild meetings until the 19th century. It later became part of St Paul’s School.
It is Grade II listed and gets our attention in the latest of our features on Newcastle’s past.
