Description
Former grounds of Wallsend Hall (HER 7363). When G.B. Hunter, manager of Swan Hunter Shipyard and Mayor of Wallsend in 1902, bought the Hall in 1914 he presented nearly 10 acres of land to the Council - this is known as The Hall Grounds. He donated the remainder of the estate and the Hall in 1916. The Victorian heated wall of the walled garden survives and a grotto. LOCAL LIST
