Merchant's house, later The Queen's Head Inn and latterly Liberal Club. Now offices. Third quarter of seventeenth century, with eighteenth century alterations. English garden wall bond brick, renewed pantiled roof. Basement and four storeys. Carriage entrance at right. Interior retains open-well stair with wide grip handrail and fat turned balusters. First floor panelled room with strapwork stucco ceiling. The earliest name which might be linked with the house is Thomas Winship, tanner. He died in 1695 and the house passed to his daughter Sarah Fenwick (and her husband Nicholas, merchant). The house is shown in the margin of James Corbridge's 1723 map as the property of an "Alderman Fenwick" - possibly Cuthbert Fenwick, Alderman, but probably Cuthbert's brother and Nicholas and Sarah's nephew, also called Nicholas. He was an Alderman in 1719, 1723 and 1724 and Mayor of Newcastle in 1720. The malting part of the house was occupied by a Christopher Rutter. Charles Turner owned the house in 1781, and converted it into The Queen's Head Inn. This coaching inn was the favourite for important receptions and banquets. In 1811 it was used as an auction room for the Benwell estate. In 1883 The Queen's Head Inn was let to the Newcastle upon Tyne Liberal Club. They occupied the building until 1962. It was empty until 1980 when it was leased by Newcastle City Council to the Tyne and Wear Buildings Preservation Trust, who restored it. The work was completed in 1997, and the building is now used as offices. The C17 first floor room has strapwork on the ceiling surrounding cruciform branches. This house and Nos. 55-57 Westgate Road (HER 8710) are the best surviving houses of late C17 and C18 in Newcastle. McCombie - the best and most complete historic house in Newcastle. Similar to Schomberg House in London's Pall Mall of 1698 with projecting end bays, but more severe with rusticated stone piers under the end bays, heavily moulded and plastered brick cornices on each floor and a parapet. The rear is archaic by contrast, with a cogged brick string and plain gabled wings. Between them is a stair tower with renewed windows, weathervane and cupola, reinstated after James Corbridge's illustration on his 1723 map. Renewed south gable. Inside, an open-well staircase with wide grip handrail on fat turned balusters. It opens onto the roof, with passage through the steep-pitched front room to the parapet walk. New cloud painting inside the dome. Full-width first-floor room with fine bolection-moulded early 18th century panelling; 17th century strapwork ceiling with pendants and a plaster branch motif seen elsewhere in Newcastle (Trinity House Banqueting Hall of 1721, Mayor's Parlour of Guildhall of 1658 and No.44 Sandhill). The house became the Queen's Head coaching inn in 1783 'now fitted in a genteel manner', probably incorporating the plainer new-built No. 100.

Once a mere spring "oozing out of a hillside", where in summer people had to watch all night and take water up with a saucer. The water supply to the well was substantially improved when a drift was excavated in this direction from Sheriff Hill Colliery (HER 3780) and water was found in old coal workings. Thomas Wilson, chairman of the local committee at the time, described the well in his poem "Pitman's Pay" - "No other spring wiv it can vie; it is a tap that ne'er runds dry - a cellar where a rich supply suits every rank and station. And it awd age myekes tipple fine, wors mun, aw think, be quite devine; for it's a batch of Adams wine we gat at the Creation". Another verse reads: "The reet ower the Fell and by Cairter's famed well, where the witer like wine ye see a'ways runnin', and is better by far then the poor blashy yel, folks get in Newcassel or even in Lunnon". In another poem Wilson praises the well once more: "Upon their vicars pant they dwell, a varry muddy waiter, compared wi' canny Carter's Well, se famed for drinking waiter… here [at the Sovereigh Public House near to the well] oft wor drouthy lads will meet, and sit till they be fuddled; and then the Well's the place at neet, for lasses getting cuddled". In 1824 when Durham Road was built two long cobbled approaches were built to the well from the road to allow cattle to drink from it. The work said to have cost £20 which was a sizeable sum of money at the time. Carter's Well was Low Fell's main source of water until the Newcastle and Gateshead Water Company supplied the village with a water supply in the late nineteenth century. Gateshead Council closed the well in 1895 having found a sample to be contaminated with foreign bodies. It has remained closed ever since, but the pump was restored in 1994. Carter's Well - stone inscription says 1856. Cast iron pump on Durham Road with spring handle and domed cap. On stone step. Spout above a stone dog trough. The well itself is on a lower level below Durham Road. Stone archway built into retaining wall of Durham Road. Stone inscription below arch says "Carter's Well 1856". Substantial vaulted space under Durham Road through springhead opening.

The earliest reference to the woods appears to be C12. Chopwell oaks were used at the castles of Norham, Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh, and by the navy for shipbuilding. Large quantities of bark were supplied to the tanneries of Newcastle. Chopwell Woods were described by Ryan in his "History of Shotley Spa" as Crown lands, meaning land which was taken over by the Crown on the dissolution of the monasteries during the 1530s. Bourne suggested that the popular Ryton Ferry which ran from The Willows, originated from Cistercians at Morpeth who needed a crossing to administer their land at Chopwell. There was a monastic grange at Chopwell (HER 496). This valuable woodland was ministered for a time by the capable forester William Billington whose book "A Series of Facts, Hints and Observations and Experiments on Raising Young Plantations from Acorn Seedlings and Larger Plants", 1825, was no doubt extremely influential as it was subscribed to by many landowners such as Surtees who resided nearby at Hamsterley Hall. The woodland was deciduous at that time but is now mostly planted with conifers. The woods remain accessible through permission of the Forestry Authority. Dated C12th.

A wreck of a small timber rowing boat, probably a whaler, is visible in the River Team, close to the riverbank, at low tide. Substantial stone river walls survive in this area {1}. A second wreck is visible on aerial photographs taken prior to November 2003.

Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. Presumably workers houses for the paper mill on the other side of the burn. Site now occupied by Mount Escob.
