It could be Earsdon, North Shields.  I've had a number of family members with this address.

Thanks to you all, think the Earsdon Peigh Hill looks likely

It reads as Easdon pihiles, which I think is most likely a phonetic rendering of Earsdon Peigh Hill as suggested earlier in the thread.

That's the 'other' Earsdon! There are two Earsdons in Northumberland, and the one where Peigh Hills is located is some 10 miles north of Morpeth in the Parish of Hebron.
