History of the Building
Built in 1830, the Watergate Buildings sit beside the Swing Bridge, a Grade II listed landmark on the National Heritage List for England. The building’s cellar still contains a surviving sandstone arch from the medieval Tyne Bridge, offering a rare glimpse into the city’s architectural past.
This site also marks the former location of the Bridge Chapel of St. Thomas the Martyr, which once stood at the north end of the medieval bridge. The chapel was replaced in the 1820s–30s by the Church of St. Thomas the Martyr at Barras Bridge, designed by the renowned architect John Dobson. A narrow lane, Watergate, still runs alongside the building, preserving its historic name and character.
