Hill Head Road, North Walbottle Miners Welfare Institute

The North Walbottle Miners Welfare Institute was built in 1925 and is now the Westerhope Community Centre. The building is shown on the Ordnance Survey 1:1250 map of 1951 (sheet NZ1967NW - A).
This attractive single storey building faces east onto Hillhead Road and is constructed in red brick with stone window surrounds and a slate roof. The building was originally symmetrical with a grand central double entrance with a large pedimented stone arch surround, and a projecting bay on either side. The southern bay has been extended to the south and has a date stone above the western window reading 'AD 1925'.
