Initially proposed as a larger set of buildings, the full Primitive Methodist Church was never fully completed and only the eastern section: the proposed Sunday School, was built. This building opened in March 1906 as a Wesleyan church and school. The larger parcel of land intended for the church at the junction of Condercum Road and West Road was retained and remained vacant until 1935 when a primary hall and vestries were added. The Church Hall was added in 1954 which opened in 1955. The church remained open, conducting baptisms and marriages, until the mid 1980s but was demolished by 1989.

Temporary building, permanent followed. Seated 150. Demolished.

The previous site for the Wesleyan Chapel was located on Paradise Row (HER 6360), however when South Benwell was being developed for housing at the beginning of the twentieth century the church trustees accepted the offer of “a larger and better site, together with £200 for the surrender of the lease”. The site was in lower Atkinson Road and construction of a church to seat 370 people, plus a school, were agreed at £2300.
However funds were only made available for the school element of the plan and this was also used as the church. The new building, still called Paradise Methodist Church, was opened on 17 November 1906. Sir William Haswell Stephenson subscribed £50 towards the cost and his sister £25. This building was constructed in brick with ashlar dressing, featuring a gable front with two separate porches and a large window between and a side with three tall windows under gablets. The land immediately to the south was retained to build the church when funding allowed but this ultimately never happened.
The church closed in 1975 and the building became a workshop for the furniture upholstery business of Thompson & Ivison. The building was placed on the market again in 1986 and then became the home of Quasar Laser, a paintball business. By 2006, the building was empty and derelict, and was demolished in 2012. The site remained vacant until 2013 when work began on a row of terraced houses to complement the design of the rest of Atkinson Road.

Built 1898. Gothic style. Burned down in 1982.

In December 1894 a manse was built, paid for by Mrs W.H. Stephenson, Mayoress of Newcastle. The architect was a Mr Dyson. The Rev. H.A. Hodgson was the first minister to live in the manse.

In 1892 Alderman and Mrs W.H. Stephenson pledged to build a chapel (HER 14527) and Sunday School at a cost of £2500 in memory of the late Miss Charlotte Bond on a site which had previously been bought by her. The Sunday School was built first In 1893 to the west of the iron chapel. The Sunday School was built in Italian style, 90 feet long and 35 feet wide. It comprised a large hall, infants school and two classrooms on the ground floor. The caretaker's accommodation was on the first floor and heating equipment in the basement. The architects were Thompson and Selby of Pilgrim Street. The builders were Thirlwell & Son of Benwell Village. The foundation stone was laid on 1st March 1893. A time capsule bottle containing copies of the Newcastle daily papers, the Methodist Recorder, the Methodist Times and a Circuit Plan, was placed by Miss Stephenson, daughter of the Alderman, in a cavity under the south-east corner. After the ceremony a meeting was held in the iron chapel. The opening ceremony took place on 13th September 1893.

Elswick Road Wesleyan Circuit was formed in 1877 as an offshoot from Blenheim Street Circuit. A dwelling house on Adelaide Terrace, between Cochrane Street and Oak Street was rented for £20 per year to use as a Mission for New Benwell. A prayer meeting was held on 23rd November 1877 and the Mission for Divine Worship was opened on Sunday 25th November. The committee comprised Messrs. Stephenson, Ritson, Thompson, Chambers, Lawson, Walton and Rowland. The rented house soon proved to be too small and a site was soon found on which to build a chapel (HER 14528).

With the growth of Methodism in Benwell, the Mission from Adelaide Terrace (HER 14529) transferred to a corrugated iron chapel which stood on the site of the later Bond Memorial Church. The New Benwell Mission Committee bought the site for £510.17 from a Mr Neville in 1879 using money donated by Miss Charlotte Bond (sister-in-law of Sir William H. Stephenson). The opening service for the iron chapel was on Sunday 20th November 1881. Sermons were preached by Rev. Robert Cooke, Rev. H.S. Eckerley and Rev. John Holmes (Superintendent of the Elswick Road Wesleyan Circuit). There was a public meeting on Monday 21st November 1881.

Wesleyan Chapel. Now The Potter's House Christian Church. Built in 1899. This replaced an 1881 iron chapel (HER 14528). In 1892 Alderman and Mrs W.H. Stephenson pledged to build a chapel and Sunday School (HER 14530) at a cost of £2500 in memory of the late Miss Charlotte Bond (sister-in-law of Sir W H Stephenson) on a site which had previously been bought by her. The Wesleyan Chapel, seated 650 people. Large Italianate stone chapel with ashlar dressings. An enclosed link was added between the chapel and Sunday School in the mid C20. Originally there were terraced houses attached to the rear of the Sunday School. These were demolished in the 1960s/70s. The church is a two storey building of snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings, slate roof. Its mildly eccentric styling incorporates Arts & Crafts and Romanesque influences. The south gable on Adelaide Terrace has two rows of windows. The upper windows are in the form of a Romanesque arcade. A lower two-storey projection to the right includes two entrances. There is a further entrance to the far left. There was originally a large bell cote on the roof, but this has been removed. Only the base remains. The church interior has been stripped out, the furnishings and gallery fronts removed. Recorded in 2016 by AB Heritage, at the time of recording a moderate amount of architrave survived at first floor level and stained glass in the northern elevation of the church, this original glass was commissioned in 1898-99.
