After leasing land in 1890 to create the Nuns Moor Allotment Gardens, the Northern Allotment Society, whose aim was "To further the growth of fruit and flowers and the cultivation of smallholdings with objects borth educational and practical", purchased part of the Red Cow Farm from the Montagu (Lord Rokeby) family of East Denton Hall. Their purpose was to divide the land into lots, for smallholdings and dwellings. In 1895/6 the Red Cow Estate was renamed Westerhope by the original freeholders to signify the fact that they had come west with hope to create a new community away from crowded Newcastle. Until the 1950s the village remained isolated from the city in the middle of agricultural land.

Shown on tithe map of 1847. May have originally been called the Blue Bell. Held by Riddell Robson (farmer at Low Whorlton and West and East Whorlton). Shown on 1st edition Ordnance Survey map with a smithy to the rear (HER 3995). The Jingling Gate Public House is still there but the 19th century building is hidden under a mock 'Tudorbethan' façade, a porch has been added, the gable end window blocked up and the sash windows replaced by plastic frames. Remodelled in mid 1930s and extended by Vaux in 1958.

Built in 1866 as a Chapel of Ease, administered by the curates of Newburn Parish. By 1896 Dr. Nowell the new vicar of Newburn had arranged for Whorlton to have a Curate in Charge so the Revd. ER Dawe took up residence at the parsonage with his young family. In 1897 a "temporary" church hall built of corrugated iron was built. A new hall was not in fact built until 1974. In 1900 the Reverend Arthur Lees from Dinnington became Vicar of Whorlton. Circa 1911 the east end of the church with the rounded apse had been demolished and a new taller sanctuary was built. The plan was then to knock down the rest of the original church to replace it with a much larger one. In preparation for this, doorways and a sanctuary arch were built. The opening above was "temporarily" bricked-up. Thankfully the old church was never demolished and the temporary infilling with house bricks still survives. LOCAL LIST

In August 2003, a human skull was found whilst digging a flower bed adjacent to the rear outhouse extension of the property. This area was previously covered with mature bushes which had been in place for many years, possibly since the house was built in 1951. The skull was in a very good state of preservation, minus the lower jaw and front incisors. A discoid fracure on the right cheek was caused by the garden fork when the skull was unearthed. It was examined by a police pathologist who pronounced it to be of considerable antiquity at which point the County Archaeologist was informed. The site was photographed and then cleaned back by trowel. The skull was within and underlain by modern garden soil and building material. The close proximity to the Marden cropmark enclosure (HER 304) strongly suggests a late prehistoric or Romano-British date for the skull. The find-spot is 100 metres south-west of the southern boundary of the site excavated by George Jobey in 1961. As the skull lay within modern garden soil it was clearly not in-situ, but probably derived from somewhere nearby. The most probable origin is a burial site associated with the enclosure which was disturbed when the semi-detached houses were built on Ennerdale/Solway/Kirklington Road estate. The skull was probably incorporated with the top soil which was subsequently put back into the rear garden when building work was complete. Deposited with the Museum of Antiquities.

Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. William Cole was licensee in the late C19. The Newcastle Harriers running club was formed here in 1887. They no longer survive. The Lord Hill (previously the Hound Inn) closed in 1966 to be replaced by the Magpie and Blue Star Club. The Lord Hill was the first changing room for St James' Park, as the licensee was a member of the football club's board. Site now car park.

Shown on 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. There were four parish Poor Law Houses in Newcastle. In 1839 the Newcastle Board of Governors started buying land on Westgate Road to accommodate a new workhouse for the City, which would replace them - this became Newcastle General Hospital. St. Andrew's poor House was enlarged and altered in 1810 and 1817. In 1831, according to Thomas Oliver, it housed 56 inmates. They cost 4s each per week to feed. Children were sent to school. Girls were employed in the house and taught writing and accounts by a master in the evenings. In exchange for work done, the sick were given medicine, and beer, wine and spirits were allowed.
