THE GREEN, WALLSEND

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT YOUR LOCAL ANCIENT VILLAGE GREEN

DID YOU KNOW?

The Green, Wallsend is: • The oldest man made feature in the Borough of North Tyneside after the Roman Wall.

• The only surviving ancient village green in North Tyneside and the nearest village green to Newcastle city centre.

• The central feature of The Green, Wallsend Conservation Area.

No-one knows when The Green came into existence, or why. The probable explanation is that when the Romans abandoned the fort of Segedunum in AD 454 the river bank was no longer a safe place for the local population to live, so they moved up the side of the valley to the present location of 22

The Green and founded a new village there. This must have been established, at the absolute latest, by the time that the Church of The Holy Cross was built c. AD 1150, in what is now the Burn Closes, to serve the needs of the inhabitants. It is probably much older.

THE VILLAGE OF WALLSEND

Until the middle of the 19th century the village of Wallsend consisted of a number of houses and farms clustered around and facing onto the village green itself.

This basic arrangement survives today, although it has been compromised by the creation of wide side streets leading away from the village green.

During the second half of the 19th century Wallsend became transformed into a sizeable town, the former fields north and south of The Green filled

with houses. Richardson Dees Park and further housing was created to the west. The village green survived, although reduced in size by the enclosure of land in front of The Red House (now forming the “private green” in front of Park Villas and Hawthorn Villas).

The Green remains a closely-knit and very stable residential community.

Many residents have lived there for the whole or a substantial part of their lives. Newcomers quickly recognise and appreciate the unique character of the area. As Lady Hale remarked in a recent decision of The Supreme Court concerning village greens: “….. many people are attracted to properties near a village green because of the recreational opportunities it offers and the community spirit which these engender – anyone who grew up with a traditional village green can understand the focus it brings to village life which would not be there if the green were not there.”

The local authority has ownership of the village green holding it on statutory trust for the local inhabitants.

The Green is also the central feature of The Green, Wallsend Conservation Area designated on 1 November 1974.

As such, North Tyneside Council is obliged in making planning decisions to have special regard to the need to preserve and enhance the character of the area, which is the subject of a Character Appraisal adopted by the Council on 11 April 2007.

There is an active residents association whose aim is to promote and maintain the character of this historic site. Visit thegreenwallsend.org for more information.

STATUTORY PROTECTION

The Wallsend Village Green ByeLaws 1908 are believed to be still in existence.

The Green is also registered as a village green under the Commons Registration Act 1965. This prevents any development of the land comprising the village green itself, which must be preserved as being “land on which the inhabitants of [the] locality have a customary right to indulge in lawful sports and pastimes”.

Eothen Homes

A Different Concept In Dementia Care

At Eothen Homes we are committed to providing excellent care with Christian values.

Our home in Wallsend is different to other residential homes offering dementia care. Space and room for residents to move around and enjoy life freely has played a central part of the building’s design and daily life is not made up of routine and tasks but allows people to get up and eat and drink when and where they want.

In other words it is just like home.

As well as our specialist dementia care facility, we have homes in Whitley Bay and Gosforth which offer 24 hour permanent residential care as well as short term respite and day care.

Please feel free to call in to any of our homes for a cup of tea, a chat and a look around at any time.
