Description
At Glebe Village red brick flat-roofed houses for rent were built between 1972 and 1975. They were up to three storeys high, had brick balconies and access decks between them. Pedestrian walks led to the village core with a primary school, home for the elderly and other community buildings. 45 experimental energy-saving houses by Newcastle University's School of Architecture were added in 1976.
