Newcastle-under-Lyme: new public sector hub under construction
Image: © Jonathan Hutchins Taken: 4 Feb 2017
The site formerly occupied by the long-closed St Giles' and St George's School (see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4339689 ) was cleared late in 2016 and construction is proceeding apace. This new 'public sector hub' will house Newcastle Borough Council (currently in the Civic Offices on Merrial Street http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4339895 ), the local offices of Staffordshire County Council, Newcastle Police and some functions of the Registry Office http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5128290 The striking mauve look is the insulation boarding.
