    Here's a deal: go bigger, and keep the Marcus Clark facade (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Newcastle council must find a way to save the splendid Marcus Clark facade in Newcastle West. Until last month, hardly anyone knew that we had a large 1929 facade on the site at Bank Corner of what used to be Spotlight, before that Waltons and, originally, the department store Marcus Clark & Co. Many older people who remembered the original facade didn't know that it was still there, behind metal cladding that had covered it since about 1964 (though its hidden survival was mentioned five years a
