19th century farmstead still containing some of the original range of outbuildings, although in repair (may be older but no evidence for this). Planning permission has been granted to sympathetically restore and convert the former barns, alongside sensitively designed new build to create an attractive courtyard that reinforces the rustic character of the group, retains evidence of its original form and layout. A building recording was undertaken in 2015 by ASUD ahead of the proposed conversion.

Place
North Shields
Description
The Tyne had two training ships, both called HMS WELLESLEY. They were former Royal Navy ships used to educate and train homeless and destitute boys. The first WELLESLEY was a 74-gun warship originally called the CORNWALL. She was launched at Deptford, London in 1812. In 1868 she was given to Tyneside local authorities for use as a training ship under the terms of the Reformatory and Industrial Schools Act of 1866. She arrived in the Tyne in June 1868, towed by the steam tug SCOTIA. She was moored opposite the New Quay at North Shields. Commander Pocock RN was the superintendent of the floating school. At first there were 25 boys, but the ship could accommodate 299. In 1873 the first WELLESLEY was returned to the Admiralty and scrapped. Her replacement was the BOSCAWEN, a 50 gun sailing ship, launched at Woolich Dockyard in 1844. In 1883 she was moved from a berth off Limekiln Shore near the Albert Edward Dock, North Shields to No. 3 Tier near the Royal Naval Reserve training ship CASTOR. On 11th March 1914 a fire broke out in the ship's drying room. The second WELLESLEY was gutted and sank in 30 feet of water. The crew was rescued by lifeboat and the tug VIGILANT. She was refloated and towed to Blyth for breaking up. £22,000 was raised to find a new boy's home. The Wellesley Nautical School was set up in a World War One submarine base at Blyth and is still there.

Where Built: Woolwich Dockyard
Commanding Officer: Captain Kitcat
Crew: 290 boys + officers
Passengers: at least 1 - Captain's baby
SITEASS
The training ship was the idea of philanthropist James Hall. Military training was meant to keep children out of trouble. The Wellesley Nautical School was home to 300 boys aged between 12 and 16. Few had been convicted of any crime, most were just poor. The aim of the ship was to ;provide shelter for Tyneside waifs and to train young men for service in both Royal and Merchant Navies'. The boys were taught seamanship, climbing masts, weapons, fencing, first aid and religious instruction. 3 out of 4 went on to join the navy. Days began with a cold bath at 5am. Breakfast was porridge or rice, dinner was meat, veg and suet pudding. Supper was bread and 1/2 pint of tea. The boys slept in hammocks on the ship. They were given days leave for good behavious to visit family.

It was founded in 1861 to provide 'temporary shelter and spiritual advice and guidance to fallen feamles who desire to forsake their sinful courses and lead a new life'. The home was self-financing through taking in washing. The difference was made up by charitable donations. In 1864-5 there were 89 inmates. In 1893 there were 35. The hostel closed in 1896 due to more successful establishments like the Salvation Army.
