Hello,

I'm looking for any leads on Palmers Estate Wallsend. Despite trawling through the archives of the local studies department I have found nothing either text based or photographic which refers to this part of Wallsend, apart from Ward directories.

I have a particular interest in Fourth Street (No. 17), but any general information would be welcomed.

From what I can establish it was built in the 1880's and was demolished post WWII.

Thanks

Hello.

My Birth certificate states that I was born 4 Charles street Palmers buildings.
However I can only remember living at 14 Gertrude Street...These houses were still in use when I departed for Australia 26th November 1959... however on my return 1963...my grandparents, whom I stayed with while in Wallsend, had been moved to Rose Hill and the buildings in question were gone.
