West View, Elswick
View from the south end of the street. The view down is shown here Image
Most of the terrace is made up of typical Tyneside Flats. Each terraced house consists of a purpose built pair of flats, one above the other. Each flat has its own separate front door opening directly onto the street. The doors to the lower and upper flats are normally adjacent. Both flats have their own access to the rear yard, the upper flat via a flight of external steps. In West View the size of upper flats was increased by building into the attics.

The streets were laid out in a gridiron pattern, often up-slope rather than following the contour. The houses here were built in the 1880s to provide homes for the workers in Armstrong's armaments factory on Scotswood Road.
