Description
Neville Hall
In the centre of this "City of Palaces", indeed at the core of the region's industrial heritage, stands the elegant gothic building of Neville Hall, a Grade II* listed building and home of the North of England Mining Institute.
It was designed and built at the height of the Gothic Revival. The architect A. M. Dunn's distinguished creation combined Gothic design with Tyneside Classical Romanesque. It is an adventurous manifestation of the mingling of secular design with traditional ecclesiastical architecture.
This synthesis invests the building with a dignified scholastic quality: in keeping with the philanthropic and educational purposes of the Institute. It houses the Nicholas Wood Memorial Library.
The exuberant space of its interior is lit by a high arched sky light ceiling and stained glass windows. Its open ample perspective provides the very antithesis of the working conditions to which its readers were better accustomed, deep below the earth.
The Mining Institute is at home in a city which houses the best of nineteenth century architecture. It contains the hidden reserve of the culture of the North East, the documentary history of coal mining.
Neville Hall is available to hire
