Description

This is a terrace of five houses located on Priory Place in Newcastle upon Tyne, built in the late 20th century. Four of the houses are connected by a high timber bridge over the carriageway to Priory Place, while the terrace also includes flats and houses on Raby Way. The buildings were designed by Ralph Erskine's Arkitektkontor, with Vernon Gracie as the site architect and structural engineering by White, Young and Partners. The main contractor for both phases of construction was Shepherd Construction.

The houses are constructed from pale metric modular brick on a timber frame, featuring weatherboarding along the carriageway and projecting oriel windows. They have low-pitched blue metal roofs supported by plywood box beam purlins. Most of the houses are two storeys tall, except for Nos. 112-14 and Nos. 138-42 on Raby Street, which are three storeys. The windows are timber with aluminium opening lights, and the doors are timber with glazed panels, some of which have been replaced with hardwood.

Notable features include projecting oriel windows at no. 11 Priory Place and no. 94 Raby Street, which are clad in brown weatherboarding. The houses on Raby Street have porches in green, dark blue, and brown, with no. 94a accessed by steps. Eaves detailing on the Raby Street houses is in brown and dark green. Nos. 112-14 feature projecting first-floor balconies made of brown timber, while Nos. 114-16 have bird boxes on their end gables. There are also projecting brown balconies on the first and second floors of Nos. 132-4. Some houses have metal-covered hoods, while others have projecting porches. Attached to no. 136 is a district heating transformer station. Nos. 138-42 are flats elevated on stilts, with storage areas on the ground floor to the right. The interiors of the buildings have not been inspected.
