Description
Low Simonside is shown (though not named) on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map as a series of buildings arranged around a courtyard with an entrance to the southeast, and another detached building to the east, probably a barn. Jarrow Cemetery (HER5248) was set out immediately to the northwest in the 1860s. The farm survived the encroachment of housing from the east until at least the mid 20th century but has now been demolished.
