The grade II-listed Wallsend Town Hall has been transformed to create a new space to benefit businesses in the north Tyneside town.

Operator Sovereign Adavo took over the 1908 property last year and began a comprehensive refurbishment programme for the building that included the installation of next-generation broadband services and a wide range of business amenities, the Wallsend Chronicle reports.

It has now been renamed Town Hall Chambers and provides 50 offices, with a capacity for around 200 people.

Mark Black, director of Sovereign Adavo, said: "The building needed a lot of work. It has had a full re-fit, with the installation of fibre optic broadband and ICT equipment, and it was fully rewired."

He added that the former Queen's Chamber - which entertained Her Majesty during her visit in 1954 - has now been transformed into a modern and inviting boardroom for occupiers.

North Tyneside Council vacated the building in 2014 and now operates out of the new Quadrant offices at the nearby Cobalt Business Park.
