Description
Built in 1881 to replace the original Wesleyan Chapel of 1812. John Wesley visited Sunderland and Cleadon in the mid 18th century and methodism increased in popularity with meetings held in houses until the first chapel was built. The church is in small pleasant well-kept grounds enclosed by a low stone wall with cast iron railings. The building has a simple form and Arts & Crafts influence. Rock faced sandstone with red sandstone dressings, Westmorland slate roof, lancet windows and doors, swept spire with weather vane. There is a modern well-designed lych gate. The adjoining minister's house is of similar design with swept eaves and mullion windows. A tall tapered octagonal tower links the two. LOCAL LIST

Description
In October 1932 Whitley & Monkseaton Urban District Council discussed a scheme for sunken gardens on The Links between Watts Road and Panama House (Stephen Fry was a senior diver on the Panama Canal in his youth), to provide shelter from sea breezes. On 19th January 1933 a Voluntary Contribution Scheme held an inaugural public meeting and pledged to set 20 men to work on the gardens. The men were sent to Briar Dene for stone for the rockeries. The gardens are influenced by the designs of Thomas Mawson, garden designer. At Panama Gardens there is a memorial to a local primary school teacher, Doris Ewbank, killed driving an ambulance during an ambulance during an air raid in 1941. The memorial says ERECTED TO THE MEMORY OF MY DAUGHTER DORIS EWBANK WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE FOR HER TOWN AND COUNTRY APRIL 10TH 1941. LET US REMEMBER OUR GLORIOUS DEAD. THIS GARDEN AND POOL HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO COMMEMORATE THOSE OF THE CIVIL DEFENCE SERVICE AND SPECIAL CONSTABULARY OF THE WHITLEY BAY URBAN DISTRICT WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE WAR 1939-1945.

At Panama Gardens there is a memorial to a local primary school teacher, Doris Ewbank, killed driving an ambulance during an ambulance during an air raid in 1941.

THIS GARDEN AND POOL HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO COMMEMORATE THOSE OF THE CIVIL DEFENCE SERVICE AND SPECIAL CONSTABULARY OF THE WHITLEY BAY URBAN DISTRICT WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE WAR 1939-1945 {1}. Doris Ewbank's name is also listed on the Whitley Bay war memorial, the Whitley Bay Grammar School Roll of Honour and on red vestments in St. Mary's Church, Monkseaton. The plaque and garden was restored and rededicated on 13th November 2002 {www.newmp.org.uk}.

Former grounds of Wallsend Hall (HER 7363). When G.B. Hunter, manager of Swan Hunter Shipyard and Mayor of Wallsend in 1902, bought the Hall in 1914 he presented nearly 10 acres of land to the Council - this is known as The Hall Grounds. He donated the remainder of the estate and the Hall in 1916. The Victorian heated wall of the walled garden survives and a grotto {1}. The Hall Grounds lie within Wallsend dene, a deeply incised valley with attractive walks and wooded slopes. The Grounds are some 3.5 hectares in size. The land was once part of the village green before being enclosed as the 'back garden' for the Hall, designed by landscapers. Wallsend Burn provided water to manipulate for picturesque weirs, streams and bridges. Rich tree belts were planted on the bank sides with romantic woodland walks. On the south facing slopes, lawns, orchards and kitchen gardens were laid out. The Ordnance Survey first edition of 1858 shows the burn flowing between the road bridge at Lily Bank and the ford at Crow Bank, with four footbridges and two weirs in-between. On the north side of the dene there were dense tree belts and orchards, formal lawns and straight walks, bounded on the north by a long buttressed wall with a glass vinery at the east end and a pond and well to the north-east. There were two summerhouses by the east weir and on the north-west slope. Two features marked 'p' might be pumps. Sixty years later, when the Hall and Grounds were given to the Borough, the western half of the burn had been culverted, removing two footbridges and one weir. The formal planting on the north west slopes, where Queen's Terrace would be built had gone along with the vinery. The Grounds became managed as part of the public park. Today there is a high stone wall down Crow Bank, formal railings, gates and low stone-topped red brick walls in the west matching the park's. In the east an older pair of gateways in brick with pyramidal stone caps survives. The vinery walls are now derelict, vandalised and heavily overgrown. Two metal footbridges cross the burn, both painted light green, one humpbank and the other a flat bridge with large curved brackets at each end. The pool in front of this is surrounded by dark green security railings. The sluice gate into the culvert beneath Crow Bank is regularly blocked with debris. Trees are mainly native species - sycamore, poplar, horse chestnut, beech. There are also ornamentals and large shrubs - cherry, holly, laburnum, lime, pines, purple plum, robinia, rhododendron, willow, yew, holly oak.

Description
A substantial amount of greenspace in the southern part of Cullercoats Conservation Area. The field is the site of Beaconsfield House (HER 8660), a large property that for some time served as a Barnado's children's home. The house was demolished in the late 1950s and the site has remained undeveloped ever since. The open aspect is a fantastic setting for St. George's Church. There are fine views along the coast and out to sea. The east side of the space is a wildlife corridor.
