Stone Plaque, 205 Park Road, Wallsend
This large brick and stone building was originally erected by The Castner Kellner Alkali Co. for use by their workers, and was known as the Castner Memorial Institute. The company was formed in 1895 to manufacture caustic alkali and bleaching powder. The stone plaque above the door reveals that the building dates from 1912.

The Old Library - 1912
I remember 'Library day' at school when we our class would march to this building to choose a book. The children's section was downstairs and I can still recall the feeling I had when I browsed the books. It seemed like a wonderland. A new library opened which was modern and didn't give the same feeling. No longer a library, the building is used as an office to help people with learning disabilities.

Allen Memorial Church, Park Road, Wallsend
This brick and stone built church was erected in 1903 by Howdon builder William Thomas Weir, one of the major contractors in the area at that time. He also built the Burn Closes Bridge, Wallsend Drill Hall and Tynemouth Conservative Club. The original spire was removed some years ago as it was unsafe and would have been too costly to replace. A stone plate on the west gable commemorates John Allen, one of the pioneers of the north-eastern Alkali trade.

This fine two-storey late Victorian semi-detached house with attic space, was built in or soon after 1898.
