52-78 Grey Street, Newcastle-upon-Tyne was refurbished during 1991-1995 as part of an urban regeneration project. Grey Street (c 1836) was a listed Grade II streetscape designed by John Dobson for Richard Grainger. This stretch of Grey Street included a small corner pavilion and a large seven-window-wide pavilion section that was originally four houses.

In 1993-1994, Newcastle City Council approved a scheme by Terry Farrell & Company in which Numbers 52-60 (plot 2) were restored and extended to the rear, and the facade of Numbers 62-78 (plot 1) was retained to provide a frontage to a new open plan office space. Plot one covered regeneration of No's. 62-78 Grey Street and the top north-west corner of Highbridge Street. Plot 2 makes up No's. 52-60 Grey Street and the extension back onto Market Lane and Pilgrim Street. While the principle of facadism was not generally permissible under Council policy, it was concluded that the scheme ensured the successful long-term use of the property and retained the rhythm and harmony of this section of the townscape along Grey Street.
