Wylam Brewery Coaster
Wylam Brewery, Newcastle upon Tyne
Standing on the lake inside of Newcastle City Centre's Exhibition Park, Wylam Brewery (founded in 2000) has resided at the Grade II listed Palace of Arts building since 2016. The Palace of Arts itself is the last remaining building from the 1929 North East Coast Exhibition of Industry, Science and Art. This 24 week exhibition was opened by the Prince of Wales at the time and was a symbol of the region's industrial success, built to celebrate and encourage Craft, Art, and Industry at the start of the Great Depression.
After the exhibition closed in 1929, the Palace of Arts building was used for the Newcastle Museum of Science and Engineering until 1983 when, due to lack of space, it moved into a former co-op warehouse which later became Newcastle's Discovery Museum still in operation today.
The Palace of Arts was then leased by North East Military Vehicle Club between 1983 - 2006 becoming home to the Military Vehicle Museum during this time. The museum had to relocate in 2006 due to the need for urgent structural repairs and was sold by the city council in 2011 who stated they could no longer afford the repairs.
