I seem to remember that the ground floor of Frameworks was the Northern Gas Board  Offices and showroom.

Number 24, the former gas board office and now an art shop and café, is an extremely attractive stone-fronted building with a recessed west end constructed in brick.

Well blow me down with a feather. Blyth has a conservation area, but only after they demolished some wonderful old buildings like the Thomas Knight Memorial Hospital, the Central Methodist Chapel, the Royal Theatre, the Central Hall. I really didn't think anybody cared!
