Some interiors retain pleasing decorative plaster cornices, especially in hall and staircase areas {1}. Built circa 1842-3, the front of the terrace is exceptionally unaltered. Only some walls and railings need reinstating. Extensions to the rear are of varied design and date with no consistency. Walker Terrace is formal, regular, unified and attractive. It was built as a middle-class ribbon development on the turnpike road to Hexham (now Bensham Road, HER 3628). They were 'the most select in Gateshead: shipbrokers, gentlemen, accountants and coalowners predominated' {Manders}. One of the houses was later used as a dispensary {McCombie}.

roofs of moderate pitch. The south-western corner shows the original two-storey
house with plain wide sash windows and a French door on west front. (A later

quasi-Jacobean character having coped gables with kneelers and stone chimneys with
hexagonal corniced shafts; and a very irregular outline. On the west front, the
two left bays are of this character, one being a two-storey gabled porch with a
blank shield and inscription LAUS DEO. Tripartite chamfered windows, some with
latticed iron casements. To the north, various projections of one and two storeys
and more windows of different sizes with latticed casements. Raised quoins to all
angles. On east elevation some rubble stonework partly rendered. LISTED GRADE 2

It is plain but distinguished and in good condition. The minor alterations do not seriously compromise the subtly varying facades. The rear of the terrace is quite different with a hotchpotch of elevations and rubble walling abutting a back lane {2}.
