Shown on 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. Joseph Wakinshaw, estate founder and initiator of the Northern Allotment Society in 1890 (see HER 6879), lived here until 1923. Wakinshaw developed garden cities and planned many areas around Tyneside including Westerhope. The house was then occupied by his brother William, a Methodist minister and temperence advocate. Despite opposition, it became a pub in 1938. This was replaced by a new public house to the immediate east also called Runnymede in 1964. The 1960s pubb has a 60ft lounge. The bar contained tables with Formica tops, the buffet had panels of grey and black formica on its bar and the lounge counter was padded with alternating panels of black and moss green plastic material with Formica verticals. The name Runnymede dissapeared in 1997 and was renamed the New Inn. Now the site of an Aldi supermarket.
