Description
The Newcastle Players Workshop, formerly known as Hartshill Institute, is a former institute now used as a theatre workshop, dating from around 1840. It is constructed of brick with stone dressings and features a plain tiled roof adorned with scalloped tiles and ridge cresting. The gable faces the street and includes an advanced gabled porch with paired shafts flanking the doorway, which is accompanied by casement windows set beneath two-centred relieving arches that have embossed tiles at the apex. Above the porch is a small rose window. The pronounced bargeboards, which echo the roof truss, are supported by corbels.
