Point Pleasant (Wallsend)
- Point Pleasant (Wallsend)
Point Pleasant is a small area in the town of Wallsend, Tyne and Wear, England, lying between the town centre and the River Tyne.
The historic area was once the home of Wallsend Slipway & Engineering Company.
Point Pleasant Hall, part of which still stands, was a historic mansion dating back several hundred years until most of it was demolished in the 1930s. During this demolition, an abandoned tunnel was found in the main hall which it is believed may have led to Jarrow Monastery, although this has never been substantiated.
Today, Point Pleasant is made up of one wing of the old hall, two streets of terraced houses and three semi-detached properties, originally built for senior staff at the Slipway.
The site of the former Point Pleasant station can still be identified.
