History

Between 1924 and 1928, the company worked under the lead architects Burnet, Tait and Lorne on the design of Carliol House, the headquarters of Newcastle upon Tyne Electric Supply Company.[2][3][4] Then in 1930, the company designed the art-deco styled car park and garage, Dex Garage.[4]

In the 1950s and 1960s, L J Couves and Partners were responsible for the design of a number of power stations in North East England. Power stations they designed included the Stella power stations, which were built between 1951 and 1957, and the Blyth power stations, built between 1955 and 1966.[5] In 1955, the company were contracted to design the United Kingdom's second ever nuclear power station, Chapelcross nuclear power station at Annan in Scotland.[6]

In 1980, the company designed Jesmond Metro station, for the Tyne and Wear Metro.[7]

gollark: I'm looking at one of them but it hasn't cracked much.
gollark: The "current" eggs seem kind of weird; they weren't announced properly, randomly ended up in the biomes quite late, and now have weird cracks.
gollark: I assume the new current ones are somewhat xenowyrmy, since apparently they came from breeding xenos, have a similar description, and came in the same release.
gollark: I've got entirely release ones now, except for my one free unused slot.
gollark: It would be really impressive if DC was broken enough that he could *accidentally* release a new dragon this way.
