1963 tower flats by the City Architect. Blank sides are given life by a grid of low pyramidal projections. At its foot is Heaton Branch Library.

One of Newcastle's best inter-war housing estates on land acquired by the Council in 1920. Designed by R.G. Roberts, Corporation Architect. Built in the 1930s using vernacular revival forms and materials in garden-suburb tradition. Some houses are Queen Anne style, of brick with pedimented doors, sash windows and high roofs covered with tiles or slates. Others have tile-hung first floors, and bright red tile roofs. Others are built of concrete blocks in imitation of stone and have roof tiles in subtle shades to look like stone slates. The original doors were simply boarded with small glazed panels, the sashes had glazing bars and architraves, and the gables barge-boards. Although many of these details have been lost, the overall impression is still of village houses transported to a suburb. The layout is in concentric crescents, with space for garden allotments behind them. In the centre is a row of shops in a long Queen Anne block which in 1991 retains most of its original detail. The area bounded by Newton Road and Jesmond Park West was developed by a number of small building firms - leading to more variation than in the main part of the estate. For example, in Southlands, the builder responsible for 12 houses H. Kindred, applied roughcast rendering to eight of the houses while the external walls of 14 houses by B G Willis were entirely brick. Similarly, the roofs of Kindred's houses were of slate, while those of Willis's were tiled. In some cases this patchwork approach led to a substantial departure from the Councils original building lines with adjustments to plot boundaries and orientation of houses being made. Builders by street: Jesmond Park West (R. Bowey, B. G. Willis, E. Robertson and W. Thompson), Southlands (R. Bowey, B. G. Willis, T. Mather, Anderson, Braithwaite, H. Kindred, R. Thornton, T. Ainsley, Richardson Bros and Forster & Ainsworth), Westlands (R. Bowey, B. G. Willis, Pattison, Braithwaite and Richardson Bros.), Denewell Avenue (Stuart, B. G. Willis, Hillheadington? and R. Thornton), Eastlands (Craig & Gray, Forster & Ainscroft, Shield Bros, Brevis & Tulip, H. Waller), Newton Road (E. Robertson, J. H. Hood & Co, Clark Bros, Brevis, Harrison & Tulip, B. G. Willis, Forster & Ainsworth and T. Mather).

Interesting 1960s houses by Waring & Netts Partnership. Non-traditional in style and plan in brick and glass.

Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition of 1896.

Heaton High School, 1928 by H.T. Wright. The C17 style is used in a free manner for long ranges which originally had arcaded fronts to admit fresh air. Alterations are not so well designed.

1983-5 by J. Lynn for the Disabled Income Group. Simple materials used to great effect. The site has been skilfully exploited to preserve the setting and the view. A low grassed mound and the gentle slopes of long ramps are the base of a composition, which has the low wide pyramid of the roof as the centre. The two adjacent schools (one for disabled children, the other a church primary school) although older (1970s) and more basic, are similarly and sensitively massed.

1968 by Williamson, Faulkner Brown & Partners. Very like the library at Jesmond by the same firm. Circular plan, with zigzag perimeter so that full-height windows light the bookcases on each recess.

1902 by Hope & Maxwell. Gothic with some perverse details such as ogee labels. A south-west polygonal turret and a north-west semi-circular projection like the base of another turret {1}. Cruciform in shape, stone tracery windows, snecked rubble stonework with dressed mouldings. Pitch pine gallery fronts, rostrums, pews, open timber roof. Choir and organ in the gallery at the rear of the church. Slender octagonal tower and spire. Will seat 700 persons. Sunday schools on ground floor, school hall on first floor.

1904 plain, red brick with lancet windows {1}. Heaton Baptist Church is a bold and dominating building, and plays an important role in the surrounding streetscape. Built at the turn of the 20th Century, it has become an important local landmark ever since. The red brick Church and meeting house has tiled steps leading up to its towering façade, which possesses painted and plain stone arched double doors. The entrance is also surrounded by wrought iron gates. The roof is mostly slate, apart from the meeting room which is tiled. Architect was Ald. W H Dunn of Gateshead. Red brick with stone facings and mouldings, Early Gothic style, seats 750 persons, cost £3,435.

Former Presbyterian church, 1895-6 by W.L. Newcombe. Early English style, with polygonal turret left of the doorway. Aisles with cross-gables. Late Early English tracery {1}. The Presbyterian congregation was from the 1881 Denmark Street Hall. The church seated 500. By 1907 a new church was added to the south, which seated 900, and the older church became the church hall. The later church has since been demolished and the 1895-6 building is the church again.
