Houses near Florist Hall, The Dene, Wylam
Like Florist Hall these houses (Florist Cottages) are stone built and presumably much earlier than many of the surrounding houses on the estate. Florist (or Florists') Hall is one of the few buildings in Wylam on the first edition OS map and is located behind the cottages. "At a short distance from the colliery stands Florists' Hall, with its extensive garden, containing near seven acres of land, and which is famed for producing the best and earliest strawberries in the north. It is the property of Mrs. Hall, of Newcastle." Eneas Mackenzie (1825).

Wylam Library, Falcon Terrace
Also known as the Falcon Centre.

There are displays on the famous local railway pioneers, George Stephenson ('the Father of the Railways'), William Hedley (manager of the Wylam Colliery and designer of the historic locomotives, Puffing Billy and Wylam Dilly), Timothy Hackworth (colliery blacksmith) and Nicholas Wood (colliery and early railway engineer).
