Description: | The most important large houses in the village were Birtley Hall (built by 1828), Birtley House (at least two houses seem to have had this name at different dates), The Grove, and Birtley Old Hall. Birtley Hall was occupied for a number of years by Edward Mosley Perkins and later by his son Charles. Edward Mosley Perkins was born in London in 1821 but moved to Birtley as a partner in the Birtley Iron Company. He took an active interest in public life becoming Mayor of Newcastle in the 1860s and was a councillor of West All Saints Ward for many years. In 1860 he became Lieut. Colonel Perkins in the Durham Rifle Corps. He died 19th October, 1871. On 22nd June 1874 a monument was built to his memory on Stock Hill, Birtley. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.asaplive.com/Lco/Lco.cfm?ccs=629&cs=2674&Preview=1 | Publisher: | Gateshead Council | Rights holder: | Gateshead Council | Subjects: | Large Houses | Temporal: | name=Edwardian; start=1901; end=1910; | Source: | iSee Gateshead | Identifier: | http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
