Roundels - Industries of Staffordshire on the Lancaster Buildings (1938)

Three roundels, each on a different side of the building, depicting the local industries. The depictions are: a potter working at his wheel, a glass maker, and some bottle kilns.
Each roundel is flanked by a relief pair of star motifs.

Lancaster Buildings from the Ironmarket

The name of Ironmarket no doubt came from the fact that
Newcastle was a centre of iron making in the 14th century.

The Lancaster buildings now occupy the site of the former police station

The Police station opened in 1834, for Newcastle's first police constable, and was demolished in 1936. The Lancaster buildings now occupy this site. Here the Police station can be seen boarded up awaiting demolition. The side of the Guildhall can be seen on the left hand side of this view.
