The extensive former Town Hall, which was built between 1844-45 to a John Dobson design, is a Grade II Listed building and was considered to be a landmark building by North Tyneside Council in their 2014 'Northumberland Square Conservation Area Character Appraisal'. Originally designed to hold the Town Improvement Commission Offices, Savings Bank, Mechanics' Institute, Museum and Police Station, it became the Town Hall in 1849. This section of the building stands on the corner of Saville Street and Norfolk Street and has two very fine oriel bay windows.
