Built in the early 19th century, the buildings and grounds of Wallsend Hall were presented to the town by Sir G. B. Hunter and were opened to the public in 1916. The Hall became a hospital in the 1920s, then called the Sir G. B. Hunter Memorial Hospital, and in the 1950s an extension was built to create a Civic Hall. The central 20th century door stands in an impressive pedimented Tuscan porch. The hall, which is a Grade II Listed building, appears to be currently in need of much tender loving care.
