Rising Sun Farm
Rising Sun Farm
Old farmstead to the north of Wallsend. It is shown on the 1865 O S map and gave its name to the Rising Sun Colliery which opened nearby in 1908. This in turn gives the name to the Country Park which was created here after the pit closed. Not sure what this building was. It looks old and part of the original farm. Could have been the farmhouse.
