Westfield Lodge. Newcastle Upon Tyne

'Squiffy eyes' is because I'm on a tiny laptop as my desktop is upstairs!

West/Westgate Road follows the line of Hadrian's Wall, near as damn it. You cn see it on some of the map links and scrolldown a good way to find the city OS map

The 1908 map at reply #2 identifies "South View, Westfield and Ravenswood" on Westgate Road.

This map, albeit 1896, identifies it as "Westfield House" -  https://maps.nls.uk/view/231276132

To the right of "Ravenswood" are an adjoining, unnamed pair - https://maps.nls.uk/view/231276135
which I'm trying to identify - "East and West Oakwood?.

The 1921 Census address sequence reads "Dunholme (Nurses Home), 447 Westgate Road, East Oakwood, Ravenswood Lodge, Ravenswood House, Westfield House, Westfield Lodge, South View".

The 1911 sequence reads "East Oakwood, Oakwood West, Ravenswood, Ravenswood Lodge, Westfield, Southview"

I am plumping for Westfield Lodge and Ravenswood Lodge being the lodges for Westfield House and Ravenswood and sitting on Westgate Road - ideal for watching the trams pass by.

Following on from HT's walk through~

The 1939 listing is even clearer as it goes (West to East) :

Benwell Grove
Normount Gardens
Westfield Social Club, Westgate Road
Westfield Lodge, Westgate Road

The Lodge is labelled Cotage on the map.

Note that Normount Gardens does not adjoin Westgate Road so the Westfield addresses have Westgate Rd as a further identifier.

That 1969 map certainly hit the nail on the head - magic!

Sorry for the late acknowledgement.

Life has taken me away from this since I posted it.

Thank you all very much for your input. I was born in Gateshead but have lived in Australia since the early 60's hence my knowledge of the area is dismal.

Thanks again

Chris
