BACK TO BLACK
Friday, November 10, 2017
Since
moving to our new office back in May we have been really enjoying how easy it
is for our models and clients to visit the TTM HQ. From new faces joining the
family to old clients coming in for a catch up and a cuppa – This was
definitely a happy move for us!
One
day our head booker Kelly took a peak out the window and thought just how
beautiful the old surroundings were. So we decided to do a little research.
The
office is based in Blackfriars court which is actually next door to the old
friary. During the early years of the 13th century,
orders of friars began to establish themselves in England.
Newcastle came to have five
friaries within its walls. With its
origins dating back to 1239, Black Friars lays claim to being the oldest dining
room in the UK. Hosting guests such as King Henry III!
There
is a long and fantastic history to look into about Black Friars which is
definitely an interesting read for anyone with a bit of spare time. Including
why the famous Toon Army wear black and white. Did you know that this was
because of the Friars in Newcastle?
We
are very proud of our heritage and we feel privileged to be surrounded by it.
Feel
free to check out the Black Friars restaurant page if you want to learn more history… or if you love a good Sunday dinner!
