The Green & Surrounding Area - The green is ancient. Its origins are at least 1000 years old. It is protected by registration under the Commons Registration Act 1965 as a village green, It is the only registered village green on North Tyneside and the nearest surviving village green to Newcastle city centre and contains a number of listed buildings. There is an active residents' association whose website contains much more details about the history of the area;

On the north side of The Green is Wallsend Hall, now used as a function suite and occasional tea rooms and restaurant. Beyond that are the Hall Grounds, part of the Wallsend Parks and open to the general public, which contain a delightful Arboretum. To the west of The Green lies another of The Wallsend Parks, the recently restored Richardson Dees Park. It contains formal beds and borders, bowling greens, a vintage bandstand, a caf, play areas, outdoor gym apparatus and a large informal wooded section through which flows Wallsend Burn before it enters the Hall Grounds. To the east of The Green, down Crow Bank, Wallsend Burn continues through the Burn Closes (also known as Wallsend Dene), another area of public land and an important wildlife corridor to the River Tyne, which can be reached about a mile-and-a half downstream at Willington marina on foot or by bicycle, almost entirely off-road. To the south of The Green lies the town centre, with shops, cafs, restaurants and the Metro/Bus interchange providing links to the City Centre (Metro journey time 10 minutes), Coast (Metro journey time 10-15 minutes) and other destinations. The Green lies between the A193 (Wallsend High Street) and A1058 (Coast Road) and is two miles away from the A19.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
