Hopes of breathing new life into a derelict Newcastle nurses’ home have moved a step closer to reality.
The historic Angel Heights in the city’s West End could be transformed into 57 new “high end” flats, under plans that have now been submitted to Newcastle City Council for approval. The project, first unveiled by developer Jomast last year, would also see 12 duplex style apartments built at the back of the Westgate Road site.
Angel Heights, which is one of the most prominent buildings in the West End, opened in 1925 and provided accommodation for nurses working at the neighbouring Newcastle General Hospital. It was later turned into a hostel for asylum seekers, but has now been abandoned for some years.
