THE COOPERAGE; the most complete late medieval timber-framed building in Newcastle dating from AD1430 is a grade II-star listed building; one of the former merchant’s houses, including Bessie Surtees House, which survived the Great Quayside Fire of 1854 ; IS BEING LEFT TO ROT BY IT'S OWNER: Apartment Group, Jesmond Three Sixty, Newcastle Upon Tyne,NE2 1DB, Director - Duncan Fisher. FEW PLACES LEFT IN THE NORTH EAST THAT SPEAK OF OUR UNIQUE HERITAGE SO ELOQUENTLY. IT IS NOT JUST AN OLD BUILDING; IT’S A PLACE OF MEMORIES SPANNING GENERATIONS; A LIVING MONUMENT TO THE MYTHS & LEGENDS OF NEWCASTLE THROUGH THE AGES; A PLACE OF GREAT HISTORICAL INTEREST REGIONALLY, NATIONALLY, AND INTERNATIONALLY. TOURISTS FLOCK TO OUR QUAYSIDE TO ADMIRE OUR HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT ARCHITECTURE. WE DEMAND THE OWNER MAINTAINS THE COOPERAGE BEFITTING IT'S LISTED STATUS. IF NOT, IT SHOULD BE FORCED TO SELL TO A RESPONSIBLE CUSTODIAN. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT..
