#tombola — Public Fediverse posts

One of the oldest buildings still standing on Sunderland's River Wear waterfront in North East England.
The Roseline Building on Wylam Wharf is a Grade II-listed late 18th-century former bonded warehouse that was converted into office space a few years back as part of the Tombola campus.
The building, which sits on the south bank of the River Wear off Low Street, dates back to the late 18th century.
The wharf itself is even older, first mentioned in 1601, and later 17th century records refer to ballast staiths and tenements in the area.
'Wylam Wharf' acquired its current name name in 1819 when it was sold for £1,990 to Edward Wylam.
Many of the earlier buildings on the wharf and surrounding area were cleared in the mid-19th century with further clearances into the 20th century.
Somehow, the Roseline building survived and now, floodlit at night, it is probably looking at its best ever!
