Jesmond Vale, the southern extension of Jesmond Dene, has a rich history and identity. It contains industrial archaeology, mature trees, and a good variety of wildlife. It is popular as an open space for recreation. The land was largely pasture before the 19th Century, but by 1846 it was populated by 386 people. Between the 1930s and 1950s the slums were cleared and it was zoned as an open space. In 1966 work began on Vale House, which included 138 flats. LOCAL LIST
