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).

Engine Dene, Wylam
Engine Dene and the adjoining 'Brick Field' were once the site of a clay pit used for brick making in Victorian times. Brick makers were employed by the Blackett estate to manufacture bricks and tiles for use in the village. They were paid the equivalent of 4p for every 100 bricks produced and one man could make about 1000 bricks in a day. The Dene used to run down to the Wylam Iron Works and much of it was left as landscaped open space when the housing estate was built.
