Buildings are shown on this site on Bell's Plan of Newcastle of 1847.

Buildings labelled as The Panniers are situated on the opposite bank of the dene and there is a small building and terrace of houses shown as Red Row to the southwest. By 1897 whilst the main core of the Hall is retained, the rest of the complex had been demolished. There are glasshouses in the gardens. Red Row and The Panniers have been demolished. A new lodge had been built at the entrance to the grounds. LOCAL LIST
