Five acre cemetery opened in 1857. When built it was accessed from the Newcastle-Carlisle turnpike down a minor road between the workhouse and Wingrove House. This is now the back lane of Wingrove Avenue. Nearly 23,600 people are buried here. Notable graves - Rev. Clement Moody (1811-1871) last vicar to occupy the vicarage in Westgate Street, Dr Joseph Collingwood Stewart (1881-1958) surgeon at Coxlodge Hospital during World War One and first consultant at Wingrove Hospital (NGH) in 1921. Contains two chapels, a gatehouse and west and south entrances. The west entrance is Gothic in style, supporting octagonal piers of the vehicle gate, and low relief carving of ships on a shield held by seahorses. The ships refer to St Nicholas, patron saint of sailors, and the seahorses to the Newcastle coat of arms. The gate piers, gateway, walls and gates (HER 8686) are Grade II listed by A.M Dunn. The chapels (HER 9954) are also by Dunn.

Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. Built by Weldon Watts. Opened on 27th July 1896 with "The Taming of The Shrew". Described as a very fine building, which could seat 2,500 people. Occupying a corner plot, there were separate entrances for the pit and gallery. A large handsome marble staircase to the circle. The stage measured 58 ft by 44 ft 6 inches and it could accommodate the largest productions. It had "a commodious suite of dressing rooms on each side fitted with every convenience for the comfort of the artistes". The principal entrance was surmounted by an imposing turret. Inside the main entrance was a spacious vestibule. The tip-up chairs were upholstered in "terracotta plush". William Hope, architect, Mr S.F. Davidson, builder, decorations and furnishings, Mr Dean, Birmingham, electric lighting by Messrs Tweddle, heating by Messrs Dinning and Cooke. The theatre closed in August 1954. Used as a store by builders' suppliers Henry Moat until 1964. Demolished in 1989 (Manders says 1964). Nos. 10 and 10a (Byker Bride Housing Association hostel) is probably the former workshops for the theatre. Impressive façade, brick with ashlar detailing including a carriage entrance. Shaped pediment with finials, dated 1898. Kenneth Moore, who acted at the Grand in 1938 with the Charles Denville Famous Players said in his autobiography 'More or Less', 'everything inside the theatre was beautiful. The auditorium was all gilt, with red plush seats. In the midst of poverty and broken-down houses and mean, shabby streets, the Grand glowed like a temple of enjoyment'.

An aerial photograph held by North Tyneside Council and taken in 1980 (no. 3024108) shows possible rectangular features in this field. However photos taken in 1973 (OS 73265), 1990 (OS 90136), 1992 (OS 92057), 1999 (North Tyneside Council) doe not appear to show these features. Should be investigated if this plot comes up for development.

Shown on 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. Joseph Wakinshaw, estate founder and initiator of the Northern Allotment Society in 1890 (see HER 6879), lived here until 1923. Wakinshaw developed garden cities and planned many areas around Tyneside including Westerhope. The house was then occupied by his brother William, a Methodist minister and temperence advocate. Despite opposition, it became a pub in 1938. This was replaced by a new public house to the immediate east also called Runnymede in 1964. The 1960s pubb has a 60ft lounge. The bar contained tables with Formica tops, the buffet had panels of grey and black formica on its bar and the lounge counter was padded with alternating panels of black and moss green plastic material with Formica verticals. The name Runnymede dissapeared in 1997 and was renamed the New Inn. Now the site of an Aldi supermarket.
