Title: jesmond dene
Post by: slogger on Friday 11 March 11 22:09 GMT (UK)

Someone i knew said they were born in Jesmond Dene. I do not think this is possible unless there was some kind of Mother and baby home run by the church. Can anyone shed light on this

It depends on whether you are thinking of the dene as just being the park land.  There are certainly houses on Jesmond Dene Road, for example

"Jesmond Dene" was a large house which is shown on the 1919-1926 map at http://gis.durham.gov.uk/website/interMAP/viewer.htm. Put the coords 425890, 566700 in to search.

There is also "Jesmond Dene House" which in 1910 it was the home of Sir A. Noble Bart. It is now a hotel. This is at coords 425470, 567240.
