House (Wallsend Hall), now hospital. Early nineteenth century. Flemish bond brick with ashlar dressings; Westmorland slate roof. Three storeys with two-storey extension. Central twentieth century door in pedimented Tuscan porch. Sash windows. Inserted stone-mullioned window to left of door. Ashlar-corniced brick chimneys. On Ordnance Survey this is labelled as "The Hall" {1}. Replaced an earlier Hall, which in 1800 was owned by William Clark, who would become Wallsend's first mayor. The existing Hall was built by the Moncaster family, merchant venturers from Newcastle. In 1856 Robert Richardson Dees, Newcastle solicitor, moved into the Hall, which had extensive gardens, wooded walks beside the Wallsend Burn, cultivated areas on the south facing slopes above, including a vinery with its own well. In 1914 Sir George Burton Hunter bought the Hall and grounds. He presented them to the mayor and Corporation in 1919. Wallsend Hall became a hospital with a maternity ward for Wallsend and Willington in the 1920s. It was later renamed the Sir GB Hunter Memorial Hospital. It served as quarters for local soldiers during the Second World War. The Hall Grounds became an extension to the neighbouring public park. In 1940 the health centre was built in the grounds to the east of the Hall. In the 1950s part of the Hall was extended and became a Civic Hall with function rooms for use by the council and for hire. The existing surgery was built in the 1980s.
