Church Road, prefabricated houses

Prefabricated houses, provided by the Government under the Housing (Temporary Accommodation) Act 1944 and built by Gosforth Urban District Council. In Rydal Road they are the 'Howard' type of house, designed by F. Gibberd. In the group named after Northumbrian saints (e.g. Aidan Walk) they are one storey with later pebbledash. There are more prefabricated houses off the Great North Road north of Regent Centre on the Grange Lane Estate in Coquet Avenue and Glanton Wynd.
