Inside swanky new apartments for over 60s built on former high school site GORGEOUS new apartments for people over 60 have been built on the historic site of a former high school - and they are now up for grabs. Let s take a look inside. Nestling in the leafy suburb of Newcastle, independent living site Pegasus Jesmond Assembly is made up of 63 modern apartments for people over 60. Pegasus says the design is influenced by traditional architecture and character of Eskdale Terrace and the wider Conservation Area. Jesmond Assembly is built where the Central Newcastle High School for Girls once stood, with its name celebrating the trailblazing heritage of the school.
