15 West Street, Gateshead
Perhaps the only example in Gateshead of the opulent Victorian/Edwardian bank genre. By George Reavell, 1914.
Next door is the Tudoresque former post office of 1897 by the Office of Works. Grade II listed.
The bank is now a branch of Lloyds/TSB, not sure about the post office.

Gateshead Town Hall clock tower
The clock tower on West Street dates from 1892 (some 22 years later than the town hall itself Image). It appears no longer to be working (at least, neither of the dials seen here was telling the correct time). It is grade II listed (list entry 1277624). The listing says it is a reproduction of the clock at Victoria Station, London. If so, it is differently adorned, compare Image for the London version and Image for this one on a sunnier day.

Old Town Hall, Gateshead
Built in 1870, the Old Town Hall originally provided offices for the Town Clerk, Surveyor, Rate Collector and Nuisance Inspector, along with a police station, Magistrates and County Courts, cells, fire engine house, drill yard and a large public hall and refreshment rooms.
The building has had a wide variety of uses since the new Civic Centre opened in 1987, but was recently reoccupied by Gateshead Council as part of a £1.2m plan to create a ‘cultural hub’ for arts and other cultural projects in Gateshead.
After decades of neglect, the building exterior has been transformed to its former glory and the Performance Hall and stage area has now been converted back from office space to provide a new venue for public performances.
The building also incorporates a licensed cafe

The gothic-style cast iron clock tower in front of the hall was designed by Gillott and Johnson of Croydon. The clock is painted black and gold and is an exact facsimile of one at Victoria Station, London Image It is inscribed "Presented to the Borough of Gateshead by Walter Willson, Mayor 1892." http://www.northumbria.info/Pages/gheadclk.html
