Prior to April 1974 this stretch of green open space marked the boundary between Whitley Bay Borough Council and Tynemouth County Borough Council. In the distance is the rear of Marden House, a fine two storey house, close to Marden Quarry Park. This house was built, according to William Weaver Tomlinson in his 1893 book, 'Historical Notes on Cullercoats Whitley and Monkseaton', "by Mr. Thomas Taylor early in the century [19th]." The front of the house can be seen at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6699306. For a selection of detailed free to download walking routes in the area visit www.northtynesidewalks.co.uk
