Hi Faithen,
Some areas have Rate Books and these tell you who owned houses, and who occupied them.
Here is a list of the ones held by Tyne and Wear Archives - it also explains a bit about Rate Books and what information they contain:
http://www.tyneandweararchives.org.uk/pdf/userguide18.pdf
The archives office might also have a street/place index which give information about where old streets were, and what information exists on these. Some also have old photographs collection (but sometimes local studies libraries hold these).
I hope this helps - others too might suggest a few things you could try.
If you're confused about anything please ask - everyone on rootschat is very friendly.
Good luck,
Paulene

Greenhow Terrace was only a couple of streets away from Ethel St, towards the St Johns cemetery, running between Buddle Rd and Amelia Rd. Most of these were Tyneside flats where the owner lived in the upper flat and let the lower one.
Fergusons lane runs into Benwell Village from the west and the houses were  mostly of later build. The other two streets I don't recall.

Peter,
What you have said though is fantastic!
Do you have any photos of the area as it used to be?

  Big thanks to Willow and Peter.
My Aunty Joyce rembers living @ 21 Penn street, till they were pulled down, not sure when but she was born in 1931 and so I would guess she was between 3 and 6, when they moved into Her grandmothers House 15, Park road.Eswick it is couple of block of flats now, visted last November.
I also know that David Newell worked for Vickers so he was nice and close for work , lol
I have no Pictures of either Greenhow place or Terrace I would love too see that it looked like.
I do no I had a Aunty Hannah Bilton Living @ Glouster Terrace, Newcastle, Elswick I think all these address are mainly off of the Scottswood Road.
Many thanknx once agan

Hi Faithen,

Found these for you:
http://www.amber-online.com/exhibitions/scotswood-road?p=1
* Not the roads you mention, but gives a little bit of an idea of what the area used to be like.

And, this book - if you don't want to buy a copy, it might be available through your library, Faithen:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scotswood-Road-Jimmy-Forsyth/dp/1852240148

Still think it's very likely the local studies libaray in the area will have some photos for you.

Hope this helps - you never know, the book on the area might even mention who lived at various places.
