Description
This terrace was established by 1825 to provide workers houses for employees of adjacent factories. The name was changed to Leslie Terrace by 1945 (after Hawthorn Leslie & Co). Although the terrace has been demolished (1980s) there is still considerable evidence of these cottages visible. The site has not been redeveloped and is untidy and overgrown. Some of the city's earliest workers cottages. Old photographs show a substantial and quite grand row of three storey brick houses with basement coal cellars. In June 2012 an evaluation on the site of Leslie Terrace revealed cellars and walls. The cellar was built of clay bonded quite nicely dressed stone blocks (probably the rear and side walls of an earlier building shown on Hutton's plan of 1770) and had a brick herringbone floor. Beneath the floor was a waste deposit of clay with mortar, coal and sandstone inclusions and a thin possible ballast layer of yellow sand containing pieces of flint and shell. The cottages are shown on Woods plan of 1827. Mackenzie describes the site thus: "a double row of dwelling-houses, mostly occupied by workmen. Some of the higher houses, and Forth Row, near the top of the bank, are very neatly built". The bricks used in the houses averaged 60cm x 24cm x 12cm in size. By 1940 (fourth edition OS map) the houses had been remodelled. The kitchen areas were extended at the back and a concrete and brick yard constructed. The stairs to the upper level of houses were changed. The standing retaining wall to the rear of Leslie Terrace was recorded. The wall is 37m long and 4.2m high. It is built of red brick in English garden wall one-and-three bond with concrete coping. A half-turn stair gave access from the rear of Leslie Terrace to Wallis Entry and Pitman's Row. There are four narrow blocked round-arched windows with ashlar sills, one wider arched window and one doorway in the wall.

The northern most brick building is Victorian in character built of strong red brick. Its appearance has been spoiled by the introduction of uPVC look-a-like sash windows at ground floor. The southern building is Georgian with later alterations including a mansard roof. Despite changes of use and alterations to its built form, the building has retained a simple elegance.

Description
By 1723 Summer Hill House, the area's first major building, was built on the hill near Elswick Lane for Mr Joseph Barber, an Irish bookseller who named it after his mansion in County Meath where he grew up. He worked at Amen Corner. There were nurseries on the slope below, which became the 'square' around which housing would later be built. On 6 March 1773 the house was destroyed by fire. Arson was suspected as Mr Barber had previously received two letters demanding money. A reward of £110 was offered for the capture of the offenders. John Bell's plan of the Westgate Estate in 1799 shows no sign of a large house. The field was let to John Brewster. Hadwin Bragg, a Quaker, rebuilt Summer Hill as a double-bow fronted house with large grounds. 'Early in the present century they [the Bragg family] removed from their house above the place of business to Summerhill, then quite in the country with a view of trees and corn-fields stretching to the river. The road to it lay through the West-gate and his friends thought it was a lonely walk for Hadwen Bragg with the owls hooting at night-fall' {Quaker records}. Mackenzie described Bragg's house as 'a large and commodious house'. The bow window actually still survives as part of the buildings next to St. Matthew's Church (in back yard at rear of Westgate Road). The surviving part of the garden boundary wall of Summer Hill House is brick. It stands immediately alongside the east wall of the saw mill.
