Farm with industrial interest. A plan of Throckley Manor dated 1805 shows 'Fell Butts Close' on the site of North Farm. By the enclosure award of 1830 the farm is reverse C shaped. In 2008 a building recording was undertaken by ARS Ltd. prior to renovation and conversion of the buildings into cottages. The farm had three phases of construction - 1805, 1849 and 1888. The barn structures were a mix of construction dates. The 19th century barns are of rough and smooth sandstone blocks in a greyish mortar with sandstone ashlar blocks.

Terrace of houses. These houses were built for the employees of Heddon Brickworks by Bates of Heddon Hall. They were sold to the Throckley Coal Company in 1895.

The site of the present Anglo Great Lakes Factory, at Lemington Point, formed by the horseshoe bend in the river has a rather interesting industrial history. During World War 1 Lemington Point was known as "Canary Island" due to the existence of a munitions factory using a substance (cordite) with a bright yellow colouring. For many years after the war local people in the area still had traces of this colouring on their hair and skin. {1} The Point was an ideal location for a munitions factory, given its isolated site - it was physically separated from the rest of Lemington, and accessed only by a wooden bridge. The Anglo Great Lakes Graphite Factory closed in 1992. Workers there also tried not to get the dust onto their skin as graphite forms an almost permanent shiny grey layer.

Offices. Circa 1906 for Thermal Syndicate. Brick with ashlar dressings; graduated Lakeland slate roof. Free Baroque style. 2 storeys, 9 windows; gables over entrance in bays 4 and 5 and over 2 right end bays. Elliptical-headed surround to double door and overlight in prominent Ionic doorcase with paired banded pilasters, dentilled cornice and broken segmental pedimented hood with carved soffit. Wood mullioned and transomed windows, of 6 and 8 lights, on ground floor; cross windows on first floor. Those under gables with stone mullions and transoms; double keystones under right gable rise to tall segmental pediment containing roundel. Central gable over door has tall consoled pediment containing round-headed keyed window. Ball finials to gables. Hipped roof has ashlar-corniced brick ridge chimneys. The syndicate was formed in 1903 to develop the technique of fusing quartz for the manufacture of acid and heat resistant vessels. {1}

In about 1635, John Cosyn, draper of Newcastle, became a lease holder in Wallsend and built a large country home called Cosyn's Hall. This was known to have incorporated several Roman sculptured stones including an altar. The hall passed through the hands of the Lawson and Hewbank families before being sold to Robert Carr who renamed it Carville Hall. It can be seen in its own spacious grounds on the first edition Ordnance Survey map. On the same map, the line of Hadrian's Wall is shown as a strip of land about 20m wide dividing two fields. This strip was partly occupied by a drive leading to Carville Hall. A sketch by J Irwin Coates executed in 1879 shows the drive apparently on the line of the Wall with the ditch to the north. By the time of the second edition map the site had been covered with terraced housing. The drive to the hall had been incorporated into this development and renamed 'Roman Wall'. The terraced houses were built by the then owner of the Hall, Wigham Richardson, a philanthropist businessman from Newcastle. The Hall itself was demolished in 1898. {1} Mr. W. S. Corder of the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle took photographs of the house prior to demolition [9]. Carville Hall is shown on 18th century maps (certainly on Robson’s plan of 1798, probably also on Thompson’s plan of 1745.

Up to fifty years before John Spencer set up his steelworks (HER 4231) there were two flour mills on the New Burn. There was formerly a water mill on the New Burn, about a quarter of a mile north from the village, which was called the High-mill. It was swept away by a flood in 1771 about the time that the Tyne Bridge fell. {1}

The low watermill was situated near the bridge and was occupied by William Hedley. {1} Up to fifty years before John Spencer set up his steelworks (HER 4231) there were two flour mills on the New Burn. The site of Spencer's Mill was originally the low mill.

A stone built former farm dwelling dating possibly from c.1850, although with a number of later alterations. The core of the house is shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey of c.1855 and the house with its extension to the east is shown on the Second Edition Map of 1898. The house is single-storey, although rooflights suggest the use of the loft space. The construction is of sandstone and it has been ribbon pointed. The openings on the front (south) elevation and west gable have stone sills and lintels which show the pecked and margined pattern typical of Northumbrian vernacular buildings of the period. The stone work is not coursed. To the rear the building has been extended. Stonework on the west elevation suggests that a smaller earlier extension has been removed and replaced by a relatively modern brick kitchen extension which has been rendered. Cast iron rainwater goods survive at various points but both timber and new plastic guttering have also been used. The roof has been fully recovered in concrete roof tiles. The three chimney stacks are of brick. Extending eastwards and attached to the house is a lower and narrower single storey range, rubble built and ribbon pointed. Cartographic evidence suggests this was added in the second half of the C19. The range has rooflights and an opening on its east gable at loft level suggesting possible use as a granary or food store above a byre or stable (internal inspection would clarify this). The east end of this range has a dormer inset into the roof possibly to give working space in the loft area related to the above opening. The range has two window openings on the south elevation and two entrances on the north elevation. Of the windows one has been partially blocked and one is of twelve fixed panes. In the garden area immediately to the west of the building are the remains of low walls. To the front are sandstone garden walls. The Clousden Hill area holds a notable position in British Social History as the site of one of the best known and possibly earliest experiments in communal living. In the period from c.1894 to 1898 an anarchist communist colony based at "Clousden Hill Farm" farmed 20 acres of land with revolutionary ideas of both communal living and agriculture. The instigator of the commune was Frank Kapper, an anarchist tailor from Bohemia and the people who formed the colony were drawn from many parts of Britain and Europe, and in one case from South America. Its fame spread through a number of articles in foreign newspapers. Their ideas were based principally on those of Prince Peter Kropotkin, a Russian anarchist based in Britain. The chosen location of Tyneside was based on Kropotkin's idea that intensive agriculture under glass could be carried out in coal mining areas where coal could be bought cheaply. Kropotkin himself was asked to involve himself in the setting up of the commune but declined to take the position of Commune Treasurer, his letter about this being printed in the local press. He did however support the colony and visited it during its existence. Other leading anarchist and communist figures of the day visited the site, notably Kampffmeyer and Tom Mann. As such it was one of the most remarkable ventures in social history in this country in the late C19, predating many of the more famous developments in the growth of anarchism and communism. The commune was closely linked with the Co-operative movement of the area, which formed the major market for the flowers and produce grown in the fields and greenhouses of the colony. The general opinion is that the principal base of the commune was in a property close to lamb or Ord farmhouse (now known as Earlington House). However there is now strong reason to believe that the Ord Farmhouse was actually part of the communal arrangement. It is known that by 1897 the commune had grown in number to approximately two dozen members and had spilled over into other cottages in the village. Sketches from the 'Illustrated London News' of January 8th 1898 include a drawing entitled "Sketches at Clousden Hill Farm - the Farm House", which shows the building now known as Lamb or Ord Farmhouse. The sketches also show members of the commune and a pond. A fish pond is marked immediately to the rear of the building. It seems therefore that the building was occupied by at least part of the commune in early 1898. {1} Also known as Lamb or Ord Farmhouse.

Shown on Ordnance Survey first edition as farm cottages. The farm was tenanted by the Rowell family, who were coal owners as well as farmers. Recorded in 1994 {1}. The new Village Farm development was built here in 1998. The new houses largely respect the layout of the farm buildings.
