Little is known of this curious Victorian house, apparently built on to an ancient tower. Although research by Farrier has suggested that the tower was contemporary with the remainder of the house rather than a medieval building. Tower House is identified on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey as a single building. By 1863, it is referred to Scotswood Tower in a newspaper advertisment. In the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey, the tower and additional outbuildings are referred to as Scotswood Tower. The property is recorded in the Blackett-Ord land sale of 1920 as a "house rented to Mrs Hall...... stables and garden rented to eleven others". It stood on the western side of Denton Road near the location of the present Sports and Social Club and was demolished in 1981.

Situated south of what was the main road to Tynemouth near the present Point Pleasant Terrace, in an estate stretching from the riverside to Wallsend village green, it was owned by James Muncaster the elder of Wallsend Hall. From his son it was bought by William Clark, who sold it to William Losh. In 1822 Alice, the latter's eldest daughter, was married to James Anderson, the third son of John Anderson of Jesmond Manor House (SMR 1871) and they occupied Point Pleasant until 1837. Later owners were John Grace, John Straker, John Coutts, Thomas Jobling and, after 1879, the Wallsend Slipway Company; Robert Wallis lived there c.1910-21 {1}.

Designed by Dobson c.1825, it was part of a development laid out along New Bridge Street following the construction of the bridge over Pandon Dene. Picton Place contained the best of Dobson's urban villas, but was destroyed by the gradual expansion of the nearby railway sidings. Of this, only the architect's own house (now a night club) and some houses east of the present Falconar Street survive. Picton House, demolished in 1970, was at the southern end of Picton Place near the junction with New Bridge Street and Oxford Street. This was one of the larger houses, commonly known as "Dobson's Villa". A substantial house, three by four bays with an Ionic portico and shallow Doric pilasters. In 1860 it was the residence of George Mennell and for many years survived as a railway ticket office and later as an employment exchange {1}.

This house appears to have been reconstructed in the 18th century, while retaining an earlier inscription dated 1634, an ornamental tablet on the brick façade inscribed "Chris Barker, Tanner, 1684". Some of its rooms had ceilings decorated with Jacobean strap-work. Thomas W. Rowell took over the premises when it was a pub called the Masons' Arms, in 1856. The pub had a brewery, a shop, three workshops, cellars, stables and hop and malt rooms. Rowell was bankrupt in 1862. Around 1876 it was bought by French winemakers and merchants, Bourgogne et Fils, for £3,500, under the stewardship of P.A. Bourgogne. In the 1890s the yard behind the old inn was developed with a five storey warehouse. Bourgognes operated as a winehouse until the late 1930s with licensed rooms and retail. By the late 1950s the pub was leased to Wm Younger's. In 1972 it was a public house owned by Newcastle Breweries. It was demolished that year to make way for Eldon Square Shopping Centre. In 1989 a new Bourgogne's pub was opened close to the original site.

More recently known as Low Gosforth Court, this was originally part of the Brandling Estate. It was demolished in the early 1970s. During the first half of the 19th century it was occupied by Robert William Brandling (1775-1849), younger brother of the Rev. Ralph Henry Brandling of Gosforth House. At the sale of the Brandling property in 1852, Low Gosforth was purchased by Joseph Laycock for £28,600; its estate of 287 acres included the ruins of North Gosforth Chapel. Mr Laycock demolished the existing house (date unknown) and erected a new one, in the mid-1850s, which was destroyed by fire in 1878 and rebuilt. He was succeeded in 1881 by his son Brig. Gen. Sir Joseph Frederick Laycock. By 1894 the house had become the residence of James A. Woods (son of John Anthony Woods of Benton Hall), who later moved to Swaland Park in Northumberland, and later of Brodie Cochrane and Sir Alfred E. Bell. The estate became incorporated into the Melton Park residential development, stables and other outbuildings being converted to residential use {1}.

The Lodge stood at its south-east corner at the junction of Kenton Road and Grandstand Road. It was built in 1795 for the coal-owner John Graham Clarke, grandfather of the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning. In 1810 the Clarke family moved to Kenton Hall. From 1810 to 1836 it was the seat of John Brandling, and for the next three years was occupied by Sir John Walsham, a Poor Law commissioner. Later occupiers were mainly farmers. The first edition OS map shows the house and various outbuildings, a walled garden to the east and two large ponds, one with an island in it. In 1908 it was replaced by the present Queen Anne Revival style house, built for the paint manufacturer Max Holzapfel (HER 9795). In 2014 an evaluation by AOC Archaeology, as part of a wider buildings survey, revealed the remains of the outer walls and drainage system of this building.

Formerly known as Jesmond House, this lay just north of where the present Manor House Road joins Grosvenor Road, having been rebuilt by William Coulson in 1720 on the site of Nicholas Grenville's C12 house. In 1809 it was purchased by John Anderson (1757-1829) who "much adorned and beautified it" (Mackenzie), and in 1887 by Col. Coulson, who later sold it to James Laing. Subsequently occupied by Alfred Cochrane and then by the shipbuilder Sir Herbert babington Rowell, the house was later used as a nursing home and demolished in 1929. Its splendid iron gates were re-erected, only recently (1996), as a feature of the Byker Wall housing development {1}. Four gate piers arranged in a semi circle survive at the end of the lane north of Grosvenor Road, which leads to St. Mary's Well.

From 1802 until his death in 1833 James Losh (1762-1833), Recorder of Newcastle, lived in this house. His son James, County Court Judge and Chairman of the Newcastle & Carlisle Railway, was born here. It stood west of Jesmond Dene Road, above the ruins of St. Mary's Chapel, which lay within its grounds. John Dobson worked on the house in 1817, but it would appear to have been Gothicised in the mid C19, probably for Matthew and Thomas Anderson. In the early 1900s, the Grove was owned by the brewer W.B. Reid and occupied by Henry Armstrong; from 1916 until its demolition in 1927 it was a boarding house for the Church High School {1}.

Forest Hall gave its name to the suburb now occupying the area of its very extensive estate. Woodside Court was built on the site of the Hall, which was demolished in 1962. Forest Hall was built in 1690. The western portion of this incorporated part of the original medieval tower, although the crenellations were modern. Richard Wilson (1695-1759) was probably responsible for building the five-bay central block, the eastern wing being a later addition. During the 19th century the Hall was frequently tenanted (e.g. In 1834 to John Straker, a coal-owner), but the Wilson's re-occupied it c.1910-56 {1}.

In 1796, Job Bulman, a medical man originally from Gateshead who had made a fortune in India, built Coxlodge Hall and lived in it until his death in 1818. His son Job James immediately tenanted it (Christopher Fenwick occupied it in 1827) and moved into the smaller Coxlodge Cottage (later known as Ashburton Villa). He began to sell off much of his estate and in 1832 sold the Hall and about 30 acres of land to the banker John Anderson, fourth son of John Anderson of Jesmond; in 1859 it was purchased by Thomas Hedley, a soap manufacturer. In 1877 the house was burnt down, only to be rebuilt two years later by the shipbuilder Andrew Leslie, who sold it to John Harper Graham (see HER 11074), a wine merchant, in 1894. A later owner was another shipbuilder, Rowland Hodge (c.1910-14). By the 1930s much of the estate had been sold for suburban development but the building, by now a private school, survived until 1939. It was situated on the north side of what is now The Drive, originally the drive to the Hall itself. The stables, now used as offices, and a lodge on the main road, still exist {1}.
