The original assembly rooms lay opposite the garden of St. Johns Vicarage (HER 6666). In 1736 the assembly rooms were demolished and moved to a new site in the Groat Market. In 1776 the assembly rooms were rebuilt opposite the original site in "the pleasantest part of the town inhabited by the clergy and gentry". The rooms were paid for by public subscription. Designed by William Newton 1774-6. Consists of two suites of rooms, the great ballroom on the upper floor, approached from the ground floor vestibule by a fine staircase and surrounding by subsidiary rooms. Cost £6700. Fitted with 7 Rococo chandeliers made of 10,000 pieces of hand-cut crystals. Charles Dickens played here on 27 August 1852. Strauss gave a concert on 21 October 1838. Edward VII, George V and George VI have visited the assembly rooms. In 1967 the building fell into repair and was proposed for demolition in 1974. However it was bought by the Michaelides family and restored to its former glory. On 31 December 1777 a young woman threw herself off the musician's gallery to her death on the ballroom floor below. Her ghost is said to haunt the building, accompanied by the rustling noise of a taffeta ball dress and the scent of lavender {Kirkup 2009}. Plasterwork of Adam type.

Merchant's house, later The Queen's Head Inn and latterly Liberal Club. Now offices. Third quarter of seventeenth century, with eighteenth century alterations. English garden wall bond brick, renewed pantiled roof. Basement and four storeys. Carriage entrance at right. Interior retains open-well stair with wide grip handrail and fat turned balusters. First floor panelled room with strapwork stucco ceiling. The earliest name which might be linked with the house is Thomas Winship, tanner. He died in 1695 and the house passed to his daughter Sarah Fenwick (and her husband Nicholas, merchant). The house is shown in the margin of James Corbridge's 1723 map as the property of an "Alderman Fenwick" - possibly Cuthbert Fenwick, Alderman, but probably Cuthbert's brother and Nicholas and Sarah's nephew, also called Nicholas. He was an Alderman in 1719, 1723 and 1724 and Mayor of Newcastle in 1720. The malting part of the house was occupied by a Christopher Rutter. Charles Turner owned the house in 1781, and converted it into The Queen's Head Inn. This coaching inn was the favourite for important receptions and banquets. In 1811 it was used as an auction room for the Benwell estate. In 1883 The Queen's Head Inn was let to the Newcastle upon Tyne Liberal Club. They occupied the building until 1962. It was empty until 1980 when it was leased by Newcastle City Council to the Tyne and Wear Buildings Preservation Trust, who restored it. The work was completed in 1997, and the building is now used as offices. The C17 first floor room has strapwork on the ceiling surrounding cruciform branches. This house and Nos. 55-57 Westgate Road (HER 8710) are the best surviving houses of late C17 and C18 in Newcastle. McCombie - the best and most complete historic house in Newcastle. Similar to Schomberg House in London's Pall Mall of 1698 with projecting end bays, but more severe with rusticated stone piers under the end bays, heavily moulded and plastered brick cornices on each floor and a parapet. The rear is archaic by contrast, with a cogged brick string and plain gabled wings. Between them is a stair tower with renewed windows, weathervane and cupola, reinstated after James Corbridge's illustration on his 1723 map. Renewed south gable. Inside, an open-well staircase with wide grip handrail on fat turned balusters. It opens onto the roof, with passage through the steep-pitched front room to the parapet walk. New cloud painting inside the dome. Full-width first-floor room with fine bolection-moulded early 18th century panelling; 17th century strapwork ceiling with pendants and a plaster branch motif seen elsewhere in Newcastle (Trinity House Banqueting Hall of 1721, Mayor's Parlour of Guildhall of 1658 and No.44 Sandhill). The house became the Queen's Head coaching inn in 1783 'now fitted in a genteel manner', probably incorporating the plainer new-built No. 100.
