Shown on Oliver's map of 1844 and Ordnance Survey second edition. Now under Swan House. Thomas Oliver (1844) reports that the meeting house and school room was built in 1805 and was enlarged in 1812. On the east side was a burial ground. George Fox, the founder of the Quaker movement in 1657 was prevented by the Mayor of Newcastle from holding meetings in the town. Up until 1698 the Friends held meetings in a house in Gateshead. In 1698 they purchased premises in Pilgrim Street and held meetings in the old building until the new meeting house was built in 1805. A gateway on Pilgrim Street led to a covered passage which led to the meeting house on the left and a dwelling house on the right. The Men's Meeting House was the eastern part of the building. It had a platform on 4 steps with a long seat in front. 219 sittings. The Women's Meeting House was the western part of the building, with 100 sittings. The gallery was entered from the covered passage by an exterior stone staircase with 22 steps. 156 sittings. The men and women's meeting houses were separated by deal framing which could be removed. At the south-east angle of the burial ground there was a smaller meeting house entered by a passage and a staircase of 11 steps. This meeting house had 128 sittings. A door on the east side opened out into a school room on the east. A door at the north end opens into a staircase of 16 steps which led down into the north-east angle of the burial ground. Ryder - 3 separate meeting houses and gallery, total seating 603.

The Quakers bought their site in Pilgrim Street after theToleration Act of 1689 which relaxed the rules concerning non-confirmity. They had previously set up a meeting house in Gateshead in 1657. The Pilgrim Street site cost £120. The meeting house was finished by 1698. The burial site was to the rear. The narrow site stretched back from Pilgrim Street to the Erick Burn. At least 440 burials took place between 1698 and the 1850s. Many more Quakers were buried at Ballast Hills Cemetery in the Ouseburn. Before 1880 only established church clergy could conduct burial services in parish churchyards and so non-confirmists tended not to buried there if there was an alternative. Quakers objected to the 'vain and empty custom of erecting monuments' over the dead, although this attitute relaxed in 1825. The burial ground at Pilgrim Street was used as a playground by the nearby Quaker School. Deborah Richardson, grandmother of John Wigham Richardson was buried there. In 1961 the area was required for urban redevelopment (Swan House roundabout). The Quakers moved to the present meeting house in Jesmond Road. They took with their large front door, the inscribed doorway keystone and the meeting room benches. Bodies were exhumed and reburied at a rural meeting house.
