Background

History

The facility has its origins in a private house, known as Wallsend Hall, built in the early 19th century. The hall was originally occupied by William Clark, then by his son-in-law, John Wright, who were both Mayors of Wallsend, and then by Robert Richardson Dees, a local solicitor, before being acquired by Sir George Burton Hunter in 1914. Burton presented the hall and its grounds to Wallsend Corporation in 1919. The hall itself was re-designated for municipal use in the 1950s.
