The Commissioners Building

Once the Magistrates courts for Jarrow and the wider South Tyneside area, the magnificent Clervaux Exchange has been brought back into life and now houses over 50 offices ranging from 1 desk private offices through to 30 desk chambers on the upper floor. 

There are now close to 250 jobs in a building once slated for long term stagnation as it reached the end of its previous working use as the local police station and armoury. A real success story for Jarrow and South Tyneside.

One of the great features of The Clervaux is the vaulted ceiling that runs all the way along the main corridor with a pleated voile to create a sumptuous interior space. Another of the major tasks was to re-open the two double height vaulted ceilings to the boardroom and Grand Chamber, which bring the spaces alive and give the building a real ‘wow’ factor.

Another local landmark, The Clervaux is now the stand out working residence in the South Tyneside enterprise scene.
