DescriptionNeville Hall and Wood Memorial Hall, Westgate Road - geograph.org.uk - 1690255.jpg
English: Neville Hall and Wood Memorial Hall, Westgate Road. Offices, library and lecture theatre built in 1870 by A.M. Dunn for the North of England Institute of Mining Engineers. The massive, Victorian Gothic design is enhanced using bands of a deeper red coloured sandstone and Shap granite columns at the entrance. The building commemorates Newcastle's former pre-eminence in coal mining and the coal trade. It houses the world's most significant mining library and related primary material http://www.twsitelines.info/Siteline.nsf/SMR/19C58E09CF01D0C5802576AF003E97E3?opendocument

Behind the railings on the front of the building, under a layer of concrete, lie the lower courses of the south face of Hadrian's Wall, the line of which is now followed by Westgate Road, heading west from Newcastle.
