Willington Gut

The stream that trickles through Richardson Dees Park, Wallsend Civic Hall Grounds and Wallsend Burn eventually opens out into Willington Gut before it enters the river Tyne.
















Willington Viaduct

Iron railway viaduct over Willington Dene, spanning a distance of c.320m with seven spans, supported on stone piers. Construction began in 1837 by John and Benjamin Green for Newcastle and North Shields Railway Company.








Willington Mill

Willington Mill, also known as Kitty's Mill, was one of England's first steam powered flour mills. The Victorians regarded it as the most haunted building in the North of the Country. The building is now listed and is used as a canteen for the rope works along side.
