Built around 1880. The section beyond Clayton Road was finished in 1915. In 1910 residents included Henry A. Murton, Arthur Emerson Bainbridge and Thomas Oliver junior (architect). Most of the houses are now flats.

The development of the school is connected with the work of the Girls Public Day School Company, who set up a High School for Girls at Gateshead in 1876. In 1889 a junior or preparatory school was set up at Eskdale Terrace. By 1895 The Central Newcastle High School was established in a new building in Eskdale Terrace. Miss Moberley was the head teacher. Gateshead High School closed in 1907. The Eskdale Terrace building was abandoned between 1939 and 1943 when the pupils were evacuated to Keswick. When they returned, the site was only used for senior girls. The juniors were based at Nazareth House in Sandyford and the infants at West Avenue, Gosforth. In September 2014 the Church High School and Central Newcastle High School merged to create Newcastle High School for Girls on Tankerville Terrace. The Eskdale Terrace school was designed by Fred W Morgan of Oliver and Leeson of Mosley Street in 1898. The foundation stone was laid by Earl Grey. Arts and Crafts influences. It was a part-rendered brick building with three storeys and five bays. The end bays were gabled, with Venetian windows on the upper floor and canted bay windows at ground level. Tall chimneys separated three large dormers. At the rear there was a large high-ceilinged Great Hall with classrooms above. Small extensions at either end provided lavatories, a service staircase and a lift. The North-western extension had a bellcote. In 1930 a single storey brick library was added to the south end. This was designed by L J Ashby, architect to the Girls Public Day School Trust Ltd. In 1944 a temporary cloakroom was built, to a design by Coves & Partners of Carliol Square. In 1955 the original dormer windows on the south-west face and the temporary buildings were extended. In 1961 a concrete-framed building was built in the playground south of the site to accommodate four laboratories, a studio, staff room and library. In the 1990s a new school hall was built. The old school hall was divided by a mezzanine floor to create a library with classrooms below. Further extensions were added in 2005.

Founded in 1885 by local businessmen in two three-storey houses. There were 11 pupils, some of them boarders. The school prospectus described the building as having 'large and lofty, thoroughly ventilated, well lighted, equipped with modern educational appliances and with sanitary facilities receiving special attention'. There was a sports field and open air gymnasium close by. As pupil numbers increased adjoining properties were added. The school now teaches 260 boys and girls at Eslington Road (Eskdale Tower is in the centre of the terrace). Cardinal Basil Hume (1923-1999) was a pupil here in the 1930s. He became Archbishop of Westminster and leader of Briatain's Roman Catholics.

A temporary tin school opened in 1901 to cater for 300 infants while permanent school buildings were built on the 2 acre site. The infants school proper opened in 1902. In 1905 the junior and senior schools opened, accomodating 1,100 children. The architect was Charles S. Errington of Newcastle. Following the original construction there was one phase of enlargement during the 1940s and early 1950s. During this period onsite kitchen facilities and indoor toilets were constructed. The school was demolished in 2008 and replaced by a new one. The buildings were recorded by PCA prior to demolition.
