On a map of Shiremoor by Thomas Wilkinson dated 1790, the farm was owned by Thomas Fenwick Esquire and the land to the west by Ralph William Grey Esquire. On Fryer's map of 1820 the farm is named as "Moor Edge", presumably named after Billy Mill Moor or Shiremoor. In 1844 Moor Edge Farm was owned by the Duke of Northumberland. A valuation document of the farm lists the parcels of land within the farm including Earsdon west and north fields and Backworth east field. The farm is shown on first edition Ordnance Survey of 1850. In 2000 a single section of roughly built sandstone wall survived to a height of 1.50m. This was demolished without record shortly afterwards.

The name Walbottle is possibly derived from the Old English/Saxon name "Wall-Botel", meaning a settlement or habitation on the wall, or from the personal name "Bothal". It is thought that Walbottle could be the site of "Ad Murum", mentioned by Bede as being one of the residences of the Anglo-Saxon kings of Northumbria. Early commentators Bruce - Handbook of Newcastle; and Gray Chorographia, 1649, thought that the Royal estate capital "Ad Murum", might be Pandon (see HER 1390 and 6621). Heddon-on-the-Wall has also been suggested. Bede describes a major Royal estate capital called "Ad Murum" which lay on flat ground by the Tyne. Oswin, King of Northumbria (d. 651) apparently lived there and it was the site of the baptism of Bishop Finanus of Paeda, King of the Middle Angles, and all his thanes and servants. Bede states that King Oswy was holding court here when he received King Sigbert of Essex in 653.

The Engine Inn is shown on Ordnance Survey first edition mapping of 1850. Known as the Locomotive Inn in the 1870s. Reputed to be the site of a stationary winding engine for the local pit. The site is now occupied by the Original Masons public house (previously known as the Engine Inn). The Original Masons Name dates to 1991. This was built by 1912 and is a T-plan stone building with red clay tile roof. Two storeys with bay windows at the front. Sash windows elsewhere, but not original ones. Sandstone dressings. Large rear extension. In the carpark to the rear is a stone barn of two storeys. A later red brick chimney has been added. The windows and doors are boarded up.

A single composition dating from 1873 and 1879 by James M Robinson with shops and a pub at either end. The two pubs were thought to be connected by an east-west cellar passage along the northern side of the range. The Half Moon Public House and No. 22 Half Moon Lane were amongst the oldest remaining domestic properties remaining north of Askew Road. They perpetuated the north side of a street line that has been in existence since the medieval times. The remainder of the properties to the east of No. 22 (HER 7914) were damaged by fire circa 2000 and subsequently demolished. The remaining properties are two storeys, the first floor brick built with white render and pairs of plain sashes with dark grey painted chamfered ashlar surroundings. The Mirk Lane elevation comprises a two bay return with large windows with stained glass. The front elevation comprises three segmented headed windows with thin pilasters and doorway with panel doors. The slate roof with coped gables and various ridge stacks has partially collapsed with the remaining section in very poor repair. There is a distinctive chamfered corner doorway with double panel doors and segmented fanlight {1}. This grade 2 listed public house was recorded by The Archaeological Practice and Peter Ryder in advance of demolition due to its poor structural condition. The Half Moon was once part of a block of shops with a public house at either end linked by a cellar passage, by James M. Robinson. The general character of the frontage is of the middle and later nineteenth century, although the rear elevation, rubble on the internal face and brick on the exterior, could be earlier. The ground floor façade is formed by a continuous series of doorways, including an interesting chamfered corner doorway with fanlight above and basket-arched windows. The first floor, carried on heavy bressummers, is of rendered brick with ashlar dressings. There is a broad carriage entrance on the right-hand side. Demolished under DC/07/01353/LBC
