Inn
SITEDESC
Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. This was the second site of the Appletree Inn. The original inn was demolished to make way for Lord Armstrong's Banqueting Hall (NZ 2604 6657). In 1823 James Ferguson was granted an alehouse recognisance here, later Henry Peacock in 1841 and Mary Dunn in 1851. The inn moved to these stone cottages near St. Mary's Chapel. In 1877 a refreshment room was added to the kitchen, parlour, cellar and snug. The inn had whitewashed walls and a red tiled roof. The inn was known for its orchards, travellers came here to enjoy the strawberries and cream. In 1883 the inn was converted back into two cottages. A local newspaper cutting in 1898 stated that the former inn was "isolated and dispossessed of its surrounding garden and standing in the midst of desolation like a shadow of departed beauty". It was demolished for houses on Grosvenor Avenue. Bennison (1997) says the Apple Tree Inn was a victim of magistrate's crackdown on pubs in the 1920s. A substantial stone wall at the bottom of Reid Park Road, which is now a boundary wall, and a gate post survive.

House
SITEDESC
Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. Home of J.D. Francis, lessee of the Theatre Royal in 1879/80. This was the home of architect Frank West Rich from 1880. He previously lived at Bath Terrace then Lovaine Terrace in Newcastle. In 1883 and 1885 he altered and extended his villa in Jesmond Gardens. In 1897 he bought a country estate near Harbottle in Northumberland, Dues Hill Grange. At some point he bought No. 1 Collingwood Terrace, the house next to his Jesmond villa, as it was left to his wife in his will (he died on 25 February 1929). His interests included natural history, arboriculture and floriculture. His Jesmond villa had a conservatory almost as large as the house itself.
