Lodge
SITEDESC
Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. Sandstone with slate roof. Victorian decoration.{1}. The West Lodge, also called West Cottage is a small square brick house beside the gate at the head of Matthew Bank. It was built as the lodge for North Jesmond House (HER 10118) but never linked directly with Jesmond Towers. The windows that are seen from the road and the gate have stone sills and lintels, under brick relieving arches, while those on the south have simple segmental arched heads. The interior has been gutted and modernised. The gate piers are of finely dressed sandstone with heavy caps. Marks on the west pier show that the wall has been rebuilt on a slightly different alignment at some time.

Description
Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. Built in 1821 for Sir Thomas Burdon, coal owner, Sheriff and then Mayor of Newcastle, and knighted in 1817. The OS first edition 1:2500 map of 1858 suggests that the original building was altered and extended to form a square central block flanked by receding end bays with a short east wing. Between 1864 and 1898 the footprint of the house altered again. The two end bays were extended to project beyond the main elevation and a double height bow and a canted bay window were added to the right and left bays. In 1869 the house was sold to Dr Charles Mitchell although members of the Swan family continued to live there. Henry Frederick Swan, shipbuilder, is recorded between 1874-5. In 1912 the nuns of La Sagesse School took over the house. In 1923 a building for boarders was built (later became the junior school). In 1929 a chapel was added. The school expanded into Jesmond Towers (HER 5724) next door in 1948. La Sagesse School (Filles de la Sagesse/Daughters of Wisdom) had opened in 1906 in a house called 'Summerfield' on Durham Road in Gateshead. In 1907 the school moved to Ferndene on Saltwell Road, Gateshead. Then they moved to North Jesmond House. The glass house was removed and the east range incorporated in a new southwards projecting school and chapel range, added between 1938 and 1941. La Sagesse School vacated the property in 2008. North Jesmond House is built in ashlar sandstone with a decorated upper band. The central section is three storeys with a pitched roof and gable end stacks. To either side are two storey bays with hipped roofs. The central section is the latered shell of the original mansion house described by Dendy in 1904. It has a central entrance with six panel door (upper two panels replaced with glass). It has a Georgian semi-circular fanlight above, partly obscured by a heavy classical stone porch. The porch supports a tall timber first floor bay window with pyramidal roof with dormer window. The windows are of simple rectangular form with modern replacement sash frames. The attic storey has a pair of gabled dormers. The parallel east wing was added in the late 1930s and incorporates a five bay buttressed chapel. The house was extended to the west in the mid C20 to provide single storey classrooms. Interior - the core of the early 19th century mansion-house has a few surviving six panel doors and a couple of fireplaces, cornicing, deep skirting boards, some shutters, four panel doors. The original staircase has been lost and a new one inserted left of the main entrance. Put forward for listing in July 2009 but not added to the list due to being of insufficient architectural quality and being too altered to meet the national criteria for listing. The building has recently [2010] been leased by the BBC for the filming of 'Tracy Beaker'.

Description
Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. This was a public right-of-way linking Jesmond village to Gosforth and it cut across the Jesmond Towers (HER 5724) and North Jesmond House (HER 10118) estates. It passed T.R Spence's 1882-3 South Lodge (HER 9250) on Osborne Road, ran northwards between the two houses to Jesmond Dene Road. The lane crossed the lime tree avenue (now Towers Avenue) via a cutting and underpass. After the arrival of the Filles de la Sagesse at Jesmond Towers, the right-of-way was relocated to a cut from Towers Avenue to Jesmond Dene Road on the school's western boundary. Nevertheless, the former lane is still a distinct boundary between the two houses. Stone walls flank the lane.

Inn
SITEDESC
Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. This was the second site of the Appletree Inn. The original inn was demolished to make way for Lord Armstrong's Banqueting Hall (NZ 2604 6657). In 1823 James Ferguson was granted an alehouse recognisance here, later Henry Peacock in 1841 and Mary Dunn in 1851. The inn moved to these stone cottages near St. Mary's Chapel. In 1877 a refreshment room was added to the kitchen, parlour, cellar and snug. The inn had whitewashed walls and a red tiled roof. The inn was known for its orchards, travellers came here to enjoy the strawberries and cream. In 1883 the inn was converted back into two cottages. A local newspaper cutting in 1898 stated that the former inn was "isolated and dispossessed of its surrounding garden and standing in the midst of desolation like a shadow of departed beauty". It was demolished for houses on Grosvenor Avenue. Bennison (1997) says the Apple Tree Inn was a victim of magistrate's crackdown on pubs in the 1920s. A substantial stone wall at the bottom of Reid Park Road, which is now a boundary wall, and a gate post survive.

Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. Home of J.D. Francis, lessee of the Theatre Royal in 1879/80. This was the home of architect Frank West Rich from 1880. He previously lived at Bath Terrace then Lovaine Terrace in Newcastle. In 1883 and 1885 he altered and extended his villa in Jesmond Gardens. In 1897 he bought a country estate near Harbottle in Northumberland, Dues Hill Grange. At some point he bought No. 1 Collingwood Terrace, the house next to his Jesmond villa, as it was left to his wife in his will (he died on 25 February 1929). His interests included natural history, arboriculture and floriculture. His Jesmond villa had a conservatory almost as large as the house itself.
