Before the 19th century enclosures, this area was divided into different areas of common land, including Kibblesworth Common and Beamish East Moor (see SMR 977). The boundary between the Common and Moor ran northwards from the River Team, following a stream. The boundary was marked out with boundary stones, some of which remain in-situ. Some of these have been identified (such as KC38 at NZ 2341 5488 and KC25 at NZ 2267 5629). Many more may still lie hidden in the undergrowth. The stream valley and its stones are a physical record of the boundary dispute concerning these two commons at the time of the 19th century enclosures. The disputes over precise boundaries caused the delay between the Enclosure Act of 1801 and the Enclosure Award of 1818.

Wallsend grammar school, that is the present annexe to the main school building on Boyd Road, was built in 1913. The later County Technical School was added in 1959. The former grammar school building underwent refurbishment in 1987. The whole complex then became Burnside Community School. There are few sources documenting the developmental history of the building and the architects plans of the school do not appear to have survived. The buildings were not considered of sufficient historical merit to warrant listing. They have a number of significant architectural features including moulded brickwork door surrounds, Corinthian pillars and decorative brickwork and the grammar school entrance, an internal balcony surrounding the central hall, and decorative round windows.

According to local tradition a Roman bath house was found in the garden of Walbottle House in the 1930s and reburied without record.

Park Hall was built in the 1870s on land previously owned by the Mowbray family as part of their West Hendon estate. Ashbrooke became a suburb of large well-to-do shipbuilder's villas with formal gardens. These houses were decorated with extensive ceiling and woodwork decoration. Park Hall was converted into student accommodation and a 20th century extension was added. The building is constructed of orange brick with basement, quoins and dressings in sandstone ashlar and blue slate roof. It is built in an eclectic style that combines elements of Queen Anne and Arts and Crafts influences. Inside there is an impressive dogleg stair, elaborate plaster cornice, panelled dado, Adams-style fireplace, plaster wall panels.

Charlotte Square, built by William Newton in 1770, was the first housing development associated with a garden square in Newcastle. It was built to provide accommodation for the 'respectable' members of society. The square was presumably named after Charlotte, the Queen and wife of George III. William Newton had been granted a lease by the Council in 1769 to build houses on the western side of Raton Row, on Benny Chesses Close (a garden) and part of the yard of the Tanner's Company. Trees appear to have been planted around the edge of the square. The 1st edition Ordnance Survey map shows a layout of four paths around the edge of a rectangular garden, with two curved flowerbeds at the western corners. A plan of 1866 shows four flowerbeds. The second edition Ordnance Survey shows shrubs across the whole site. Cross Street had been widened by 1879 due to the introduction of a tram system. The Charlotte Square garden was therefore reduced in size, probably replanted and had new railings installed. The present railings around the garden look mostly19th century in date. The dwarf walls into which the railings are set probably date to the time when the garden was replanted. The east side of the garden was further interrupted by the construction of what is now Caxton House. An electricity substation was built in 1942. There have been toilets in the garden since 1859. No engravings or paintings of Charlotte Square have been found. William Newton's plan has not been located. The earliest description appears to be by Brand in 1789. Newcastle's second town square (the first, Hanover Square of the 1720s was never finished).

The Corder Manuscripts make reference to Meeting Hill "west one of the four ballast hills on Williamson land… estimated by the inhabitants as 1000ft high". There was apparently a Baptist meeting house on the summit of this hill. Meeting Hill was cleared and levelled in 1833 for new streets. Palmer's Hill was an accumulation of ballast on the eastern side of Meeting Hill, on which there was a large square house, lived in by Peter Haswell, a sawyer. The 'fine old house' on the southeast slope of Palmer's Hill belonged to the Freemasons, and later became a school. Corder also mentions that a ship was built on Palmer's Hill in 1840 (shipyard SMR 2733). In 1860 John Dickinson's engine works were built (SMR 5286). During the construction process the Palmer's Hill ballast hill was levelled and 6000 cartloads of ballast were removed. The ballast hills are shown on Lewin's plan of Monkwearmouth of 1714, as 'Sir William's ballast ground' on Burleigh and Thompson's 1737 map and Samuel Buck's Ichnography of the 1740s. By Garbutt's map of 1817, several buildings have been built amongst the ballast hills. On Wood's map of 1826 a road, later to become Palmer's Hill Road, runs between two ballast hills, both of which have buildings on their flattened summits. By Robson's map of 1844, the northern most ballast hill has been levelled. The 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map hints at underlying ballast deposits through the use of hachures.

Cemetery added to the Register of Parks and Gardens as an interesting example of a mid 19th century cemetery combining formal and informal elements in an unusual design. The cemetery opened in 1857 with buildings by Johnstone and Knowles. The 20 acres of land was bought from Richard Grainger. The foundation stone was laid in 1856. 334 square metres was sold as a Jewish Burial Ground. By 1899 the cemetery was filling up fast and it was proposed to extend the cemetery, including the Jewish Burial Ground, to the west. The wall separating the main cemetery from the western extension was removed in 1901. The chapel in the Jewish burial area no longer survives. The cemetery boundary is marked by a high stone wall topped by 19th century and 20th century railings. The small Jewish burial ground to the west, and late C19/early 20th century extension lie outside the registered area. In the south-west area of the cemetery is a small knoll named Miser Hill. The principal entrance on Elswick Road, comprising of a carriage entrance below a Tudor-style arch is listed grade 2. To the east and west of the entrance are two stone lodges, also listed grade 2. The western chapel is Church of England, the eastern one Nonconformist. There are two more carriage entrances at the south east and east from West View. Some 70m south-west of the chapels is the Mather Tomb of 1870. This gothic style monument with arched sandstone and pink and grey granite canopy containing two chest tombs, is listed grade 2. The Mathers were a poor family who nursed a wealthy stranger to health, and eventually inherited his fortune. Many prominent businesspeople, victims of shipwrecks and members of the theatrical profession are buried here. The greatest concentration of large imposing monuments are on Miser Hill and adjacent to the chapels.
