Greenesfield House

The earliest mention of the name 'Green's Field' occurs on the 1838-9 Gateshead Tithe Map (1838). The entry noted Green's Field as grass containing 9 acres, 3 roods and 38 perches. Green's Field had been purchased by the Brandling Junction Railway Company, together with the buildings and land adjoining on the east from Lord Ravensworth for £8700. The name of the field seems to have derived from one of the then occupiers Joshua Green, grocer, who in 1830 was owner of the site which became Green's Tannery in Mirk Lane.
