The small grassed area in Carliol Square is believed to be the site of the prison burial ground. 15 men are said to have buried in the prison grounds [where were the others buried?] When the gaol was demolished in 1925 the bodies of executed prisoners were moved to Jesmond Cemetery. One of these was that of Jocker Amos, a 35 landlord from the Sun Inn in Bedlington. He had been convicted at the Moot Hall of murdering two policemen and Sarah Grice from Seghill in February 1913, after a row with the pub's owner James Irons, who had tried to dismiss him. Jocker was executed on 22 July 1913 by Thomas Pierrepoint from Bradford. A petition of more than 50,000 signatures had been sent to King George V to try to save Jocker from the gallows, due to his bravery in 1912 in rescuing a fellow miner in an explosion in the mines of Alabama, America. He had pleaded not guilty to murder on the grounds of insanity.

After 1844 the gaol took over from the Town Moor as the execution site for Newcastle. On 24 August 1850 Patrick Forbes was hanged on the prison walls for murdering his wife. 16,000 people came to watch. Public executions were carried out at the gaol until 14 March 1863 when 19 year old George Vass was hung from the top of the prison wall for murdering Margaret Docherty. After 1863 executions were in private.

Shown on Ordnance Survey first edition of 1856.

A 'Free School' is shown on Corbridge's map of 1723 between Holy Jesus Hospital and the Bridewell (women's prison). It is shown as a Charity School on Armstrong's map of 1769. Shown again on Thomas Oliver's map of 1830.

In the grounds of the former Austin Friars monastery at Manors was the Bridewell (a prison for women and beggars), later the House of Correction. The Bridewell is shown on Corbridge's map of 1723 and Armstrong's map of 1769. Thomas Oliver's map of 1830 shows All Saints Poor House and the House of Correction. The House of Correction was used for shorter sentences with hard labour. Changes in policing and penology in the 19th century saw the differences between prisons and correction houses become unclear and then prisons replaced correction houses.
When John Howard visited in 1787 he approved the bedding and heating provided for the six prisoners, who at the time were employed in spinning. A cell for solitary confinement was later added to the House. The House of Correction closed in 1827 and was demolished in 1857, a multi-storey car park now occupies the site. Little is known about the old House of Correction, the concept is Elizabethan {Jon Welsh}. Thomas Oliver's map of 1830 shows All Saints Poor House and the House of Correction.
On 17 April 1776 William Coulson, butcher, was convicted of stealing a side of veal. He was sentenced to hard labour until the following Saturday and was whipped from the Flesh Market (Cloth Market) to New Gate. In 1789 Frances Atkinson was convicted of stealing a pair of shoes. The sentence was being sent to the House of Correction for one year and a whipping.
All Saints Poor House was formerly used as a hospital for the poor of Newcastle. In 1831 there were 62 inmates. Each cost around 4s 10 1/2d per week for meat and clothes.

A local resident reports that during Second World War there was a huge concrete communal air raid shelter at the south end of the park. It was partially buried with air vents visible on the surface. All trace of the shelter has gone at ground level but it may survive beneath the ground.

An unnamed pit is shown on a plan of 1777 (NRO 578/321) served by a waggonway (HER 3196). On the tithe map of 1839 (DRO EP/ER/27/2) the pit is represented by a shaft a little to the north of that on the 1777 plan, and a large H-shaped building, possibly an engine house. By 1856 the pit had entirely disappeared, leaving only the fan-shaped field boundaries where the waggonway opened out into sidings in the pit yard. In 2001 there was a large overgrown mound close to the embankment of the Rainton to Seaham Railway in the location of this C18 pit. A trench was excavated at the base of this in 2001. A substantial cut feature was recorded, infilled with sandstone rubble and an earlier north-south aligned ditch and burnt deposits.

Cropmark visible on Multimap. Oval in shape. Possibly archaeological.

Large house near Heaton Station, known locally as "Temple's Folly" (it was never occupied as a house due to a law suit following the death of William Temple). It was used for storage. Later purchased by a syndicate for use as assembly and recreation rooms. Photographs show it to have been quite a grand brick property with gabled roof and two chimney stacks each with up to five chimney pots {1}. The building, Manders suggests, became the Heaton Electric Palace Cinema with billiard hall and roller-skating rink (later a ballroom). It was owned by the Heaton Assembly Hall Company. The cinema seated 925. The Electric Palace showed films and hosted variety shows such as wrestling. There was an orchestra of 8 people. A café was added by 1921. Sound came to the cinema in December 1930. The cinema was advertised as 'homely and select'. In September 1937 the complex was refurbished. In 1946 it was taken over by C.J. Shepherd. It closed on 17 June 1961. The building is now an attractive complex of bingo hall, bars and club facilities.

Part of East Heaton ‘Grounds’ in the 18th century. The Heaton estates were brought together first of all when Richard Ridley married Margaret White and then when, in 1742, Matthew Ridley married Elizabeth White. Farm shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey Plan (named on the second edition). The 1841 census records 9 houses under the heading Heaton (one farmstead). Large amounts of land were sold in the 1870s-80s for the construation of the terraced streets. By 1891 houses were being built on and around the former farm. Possibly the site of Heaton medieval village (HER 1406).
