Earsdon Road, WHITLEY BAY, NE25 9NQ

This brick building, which first appeared on the 1920 edition of the Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area, once formed part of Newsteads Farm and then the local Council's (Whitley Bay Borough Council and North Tyneside Council) nursery garden but has now been converted into two separate dwellings. Whilst the building itself falls within this Grid Square, the garden lies within Grid Square NZ3371.

When the 1920 Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area was published, this area formed part of Newsteads Farm. Whilst the history of allotments goes back many centuries, it was not until the Small Holdings and Allotments Act 1908 came into force that local authorities were legally obliged to provide "sufficient allotments according to demand". This duty was further extended with the passing of the Land Settlement Facilities Act 1919 with the rights of allotment holders being strengthened by the Allotments Act 1922. However, the most important change was introduced when the Allotments Act 1925 established statutory allotments which local authorities could not sell off or covert to other uses without Ministerial consent.
