The Mitre is a building situated in the Benwell area in the west end of Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

In 1831, the present building (originally known as Benwell Towers) designed by the Tyneside architect John Dobson replaced the old house[1] and has since provided a number of different functions.

During World War II it became a fire station, and then became a training centre for the National Coal Board in 1947.

[4] In September 2010, local newspaper The Evening Chronicle reported that the building had been purchased by an individual on behalf of a community organisation.

The development was also to include a community building, coffee shop and events space open at weekends.
