Abstract

This paper is concerned with developments in reinforced concrete as a material for the construction of industrial buildings and structures from the 1890s to the first world war, and its effect on structural and architectural form. This study will show that the North East of England, and Tyneside in particular, holds a unique position in the development of the use of reinforced concrete as a principal material for building. Not only was the material invented in Newcastle upon Tyne in the 1850s. but by the end of the nineteenth century the region had become a significant centre for the use of concrete in construction. Its use by enlightened organisations, the Co-operative Wholesale Society (CWS), the Post Office and the Railway, Companies being pre-eminent, showed a keenness to adopt the intrinsic qualities of concrete for their buildings.
