The UDC was 1882 hectares in size and consisted of the townships of Newburn, Newburn Hall, Denton, Sugley, Throckley and Walbottle. In 1974 when the now disbanded county of Tyne and Wear was created, the district council became part of Newcastle City.

An assortment of shops of various styles and sizes. Many of these buildings were originally part of Robinson's Brewery (HER 1600), converted into shops and offices when the brewery closed down. There are some modern infill developments on this street and a series of unfortunate modern shop fronts and signs. In the 1940s the first shop was the office of Sunderland District Bus Company. The second was a sweet shop owned by Mrs Steele. The third was Dimambro's Ice Cream Parlour. The shop was divided into cubicles each with a table and bench seats. Houghton actually had 3 ice cream parlours.

Prior to the renovation of this grade 2 listed house of c. 1845 and its return to domestic use having been a private school since the 1930s, a programme of building recording was undertaken by Archaeological Research Services Ltd. The grand dwelling is built in sandstone blocks and has large bay windows, with original sashes, on both floors. The adjoining coach house, added by 1857, was also of stone construction but the doors and windows had been replaced with inappropriate modern frames. Whilst the interior of the coach house has been stripped of original features, the main house retains decorative plaster ceilings, picture rails, skirting boards, original banisters, plaster cornices and patterned frieze which will be retained and restored. The most impressive room in the house is that once used by the school headmaster. This room has been decorated by a former resident with old ship panelling, fitted by ship’s joiners. The varnished wood panels include carved cornices, built-in cupboards with glazed doors, a large leaded bay window and an inglenook fireplace with built-in seating to either side. The shape of the arched door surround is imitated in the panels along the same wall which have art nouveau style stained glass panels set into the arches.
