The Quaker Meeting House in Roker Park Road is filled with Edwardian, Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau features and was first occupied in 1901. It’s believed it was built for a wealthy timber merchant, hence the rich woodwork detail. It remained a family home until 1969, when it was adapted for the Quakers by architect Martin Lidbetter. It still retains many of its original features, such as mosaic floors, decorative plaster ceilings, a fine staircase and timber and marble fireplaces with stained glass and decorative tile inserts, and is on the market for £450,000.
