Robson Opticians was founded in Newcastle city centre in 1867. Originally based at 46 Dean Street the practice moved to 16 Pilgrim Street in 1919 and remains there to this day.
Occupying a Grade II listed building and part of the original Grainer Town, we have been serving the people of Newcastle and the surrounding areas for over 150 years and are one of the oldest practices in the country.
Ownership has passed down through family and master/apprentice relationships throughout and this continuity has enabled the practice to grow and change organically, with each new generation taking the expertise of those coming before and building on it.
Now well into it's third century, we are one of the few truly Independently-owned practices in Newcastle and we are looking forward to the next 150 years.
