Friday Fields Lane

Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. This was a public right-of-way linking Jesmond village to Gosforth and it cut across the Jesmond Towers (HER 5724) and North Jesmond House (HER 10118) estates. It passed T.R Spence's 1882-3 South Lodge (HER 9250) on Osborne Road, ran northwards between the two houses to Jesmond Dene Road. The lane crossed the lime tree avenue (now Towers Avenue) via a cutting and underpass. After the arrival of the Filles de la Sagesse at Jesmond Towers, the right-of-way was relocated to a cut from Towers Avenue to Jesmond Dene Road on the school's western boundary. Nevertheless, the former lane is still a distinct boundary between the two houses. Stone walls flank the lane.
