Spillers and Malmo Quay are on the Quayside either side of where the Ouseburn enters the Tyne. Malmo Quay is to the west of the Ouseburn and Spillers Quay to the east.
Malmo Quay, also called Corporation Quay, was named after the area where ships from Scandanavia docked when the Quayside was a busy port.
Spillers Quay was named after the giant flour mill that was built in the 1930's and was the home of flour production in until production ended in 2007 and it was demolished by 2011. Since the Spillers Quay has been an occasional event space but largely a car park.
Many plans for the site have been submitted over the years and came to nothing and the latest, in 2021, plans were submitted for houses and commercial spaces on Spillers and Mamlmo Quay. More than 1,500 objections were made against the originally proposed 18-storey complex at Malmo Quay. Developers PfP-igloo went back to the drawing board and has now published images of a "more modest" 10-storey tower. Nearing the end of 2024 and there is no sign of anything being built.

Spiller's Tyne Mill.
Spiller's Tyne Mill was completed in 1938, and was then the tallest flour milling building in the world. Spiller's had come to Newcastle from Bridgewater in 1896 when they acquired Davidson's Phoenix Mill in the Close. The Tyne Mill replaced this older complex. There were two main buildings at the Tyne Mill - the Silo and Flour Mill. The Silo was designed to store 34,000 tons of grain. The mill contained a warehouse, the flour mill and an animal food mill. To serve it the deep water berth was improved and the rail network along the quayside extended. The old Phoenix Mill was seriously damaged by fire during the Second World War. Source: Sitelines.
