The Newcastle Dispensary started in 1777 in The Side and subsequently moved to Pilgrim Street

The Newcastle Courant reported that in January 1768 the gentlemen of the town had graciously provided a bull for the amusement of the poor. In 1774 Newcastle's magistrates enjoyed a baiting to the accompaniment of ringing of bells and firing of guns. There was a bull ring in Sandhill until 1768 when a spectator (Kenslyside Henzell) was gored by a bull and killed and the bullring was closed. Baiting carried on elsewhere in Newcastle however. Thomas Oliver records that a large stone with an iron ring, used for bull-baiting was found in Sandhill on July 10th 1821. The bull was tied to the ring and then baited with dogs. Spectators bet on which dog would be able to clamp onto the bull's nose for the longest time. The authorities believed that meat from a baited bull tasted better. Bull baiting was banned nationwide in 1835. The bull ring was in the Castle Keep. It's now in Jesmond Old Cemetery.

St Nicholas’s School is shown on the 1st and 2nd edition Ordnance Survey plans occupying ground between the northern part of Hanover Square (South) and the city walls, north of the junction with Hanover Street. The school was established c.1890 around the nucleus of a brick building built on the south side of Hanover Square in the 1720s. It survived until 1937, when it was taken over by the neighbouring Federation Brewery for use as fermenting rooms.

Non-Conformist Chapel in Hanover Square, built for the Society of Dissenting Protestants in 1727. Before this chapel was built, the Unitarians met outside Close Gate. Its front façade is represented on Thompson’s plan of 1746, and a plan of the building appears on Oliver’s plan of 1830. In 1810 the chapel was enlarged to take an organ. The pulpit was on the south on 13 steps. The ground floor contained 53 pews. There were side and front galleries with the gallery panpiece supported on four posts. The staircases to the galleries had 21 steps. There was a niche in the south wall for the organ gallery. The gallery had 51 pews. Total sittings 883 plus 136 sittings for children. In May 2008 Archaeological Services Durham University completed the recording of the remains of the Hanover Square Chapel of the Church of the Divine Unity, started by The Archaeological Practice in 2003. The chapel was opened on 27th March 1727. It was part of a proposed design which also included a square of houses for the followers of Rev. Benjamin Bennett, but only two houses were ever built. Inside the chapel was divided into four seating areas with a gallery above. The pulpit was at the front and the vestry on the south-west corner. From 1767 there was a small charity school for boys attached to the chapel. Mark Akenside, poet, Captain Edward Rotherham, who fought under Collingwood at Trafalgar, James Losh, Recorder of Newcastle and James and Thomas Hodgson, proprietors of the Newcastle Chronicle were amongst the notable members of the congregation. In 1823 William Robson, chief speaker of the congregation, was said to have been buried there. The Hanover Square Meeting House remained in use for 127 years. In 1854 the chapel was subsumed into a large brick tobacco warehouse which followed the curve of Clavering Place and was characterised by arched fenestration on the ground floor and sashes above. Despite the alterations undertaken for the tobacco factory, the exterior brick walls of the chapel survived intact. The arched and rectangular windows and doors shown on old sketches of the chapel were clearly visible, although they have long been bricked up. During subsequent excavations, the substantial stone footings of the chapel walls were recorded. William Turner was minister of the Hanover Square Chapel from 1782-1841, he was only 21 years old when appointed. He established the first Sunday Schools in Newcastle 1785, teaching religious instruction, reading, writing and numeracy. In 1787 he started a library at Hanover Square. He wrote 'An Abstract of the History of the Bible' and in 1809 helped to found the (Unitarian) Auxiliary Bible Society and was its secretary until 1832. In 1810 he helped to found the Royal Jubilee School. He was a founder of the Newcastle Mechanics' Institute in 1824 and its Vice-President. He ran a private boy's day school in Percy Street between 1785-1803 and 1813-1824, which became the Percy Academy run by John Bruce. He helped found the Newcastle Literary and Philosophical Society in 1793 and lectured there on 600 occasions on various scientific topics. He worked hard to encourage vaccination against smallpox, which was adopted in 1801. William Turner left Hanover Square in 1841 and moved to Manchester where he died in 1859. Hanover Square was Tyneside's first town square (1720s) but it was left incomplete.

United Secessionist Chapel, later Presbyterian, later offices for BEMCO. 1822 by John Green for United Secession Church. English bond brick with ashlar dressings; felt covered roof.

Tudor arch in brick to half-glazed office entrance between first and second bays. Stone Tudor arches to all windows. Cornice and blocking course. Low-pitched hipped roof has central ridge ventilator. Thomas Oliver (1844) reports that this connexion was formed by a separation from the Close Chapel. The congregation first met in the Carpenters' Tower at the old Postern Chapel but in 1813 they moved to Clavering Place to a site which they had purchased. The chapel was built in 1822 and a minister's house (to the west), school room with vestry above it (to the south) added in 1824. The yard in front of the chapel was enclosed by metal railings and gates. The pulpit was on the west wall up 13 steps and the clerk's desk up 3 steps. The front gallery had 6 tiers of pews, the side galleries 5 tiers. The staircases to the galleries north and south of the entrance had 27 steps. Total sittings 589. Minister Rev. James Pringle was ordained October 10 1804. Out of use 1872. Gothic of C18 style but in brick instead of stone. The building has a basement. The actual chapel space was on the first floor. It has a fine plaster dome in the ceiling, moulded around the bottom and sides. Contains a glazed oculus. Plaster cornice. Historic windows specialist Henty Louw says the sash windows have 'baby' horns which, on an 1822 building, are remarkably early. The building was severely damaged during heavy snowfall in winter 2010 and has been demolished, and no longer appears on the NHLE.

The origins of the hamlet formerly known as The Mount (now Long Row in Mount Lonnen) are unclear, but it probably originated as a mining settlement. References in Washingron Parish registers show that as early as 1729 The Mount was inhabited by pitmen, probably working at Mount Moor Colliery. Until 1750 it formed part of the estate of the Hilton family of Great Usworth.

The origins of The Mount Farm are not known, but until 1750 it formed part of the estate of the Hilton family of Great Usworth, and in 1755 comprised 258 acres, 2 roods and 6 perches. By around 1800 it had grown to 453 acres, 0 roods and 22 perches, but by 1844 had contracted a little to 404 acres, 3 roods and 21 perches. Some of the field boundaries associated with the farm appear to have remained unchanged since the 18th century. The former farmhouse is now known as Mount House.

Wylam Wharf lies in the historic centre of the city between Low Street and the south bank of the Wear, immediately east of the Corporation Fish Quay. Its western boundary is formed by the Rose Line building (HER ref. 4792), a late 18th century warehouse. The wharf is fist mentioned in 1601, and later 17th century records refer to ballast staiths and tenements in the area. The wharf acquired its modern name when sold in 1819 for £1,990 to Edward Wylam. Many of the earlier buildings on the wharf were cleared in the mid-19th century. Excavations in 1994 identified several phases of activity represented by various structural remains and finds of pottery and clay pipes dateable to the later 16th century and later.

Felling Hall was part of the Brandling Estate. Later the Mulberry Tree Hotel (HER 4546). It was put up for auction in November 1809, described as a Mansion House, with its surrounding farms and 430 acres of productive meadow, pasture and arable land {2}. Henry Reginald Leighton (1910) described the Hall, then the Mulberry Inn, as a picturesque building which was undergoing a serious alteration. A small stone summerhouse, which once stood in the garden, then stood on one of the station platforms.

This camp was located on Rogues Lane between the drift mine and sewage site. It was known as "Squatter's Camp". No trace remains.
