Greenwich Hospital sold the townships of Newlands and
Whittonstall on 6 August 1872 to Joseph Laycock of Low Gosforth, whose
grandson was the owner when the relevant volume of the Northumberland County History was
published. The price was £92,164 10s 0d. The Laycocks were originally
from Winlaton and had made their fortune on the back of the demise of
the Crowley ironworks. The site of their mansion - Low Gosforth Hall -
is now covered with modern houses in the Melton Park estate north of
Newcastle but next to it, in what was originally part of their grounds,
is Northumberland County Record Office.

Best wishes,

Source - THE BLYTH & TYNE http://www.theblythandtyne.co.uk/history.htm

A few months before the completion of the Newcastle and North Shields Railway, the Engineer Robert Nicholson made a survey for a private mineral line from Seghill to Howdon.

The owners of Seghill Colliery had, from 1826, communicated with the Tyne by means of the Cramlington waggonway, but they found so much difficulty and inconvenience attending the conveyance of their coals on that line, so many stoppages occurred, and such obstacles were thrown in their way that they decided to construct a line of their own. *

Having entered into agreements for way-leave, by which it was stipulated that they should pay a tenable rent to the landowners, equivalent to a toll on every chaldron of coals passing along the railway, and damaged ground rents to the tenants, they advertised for tenders for the cuttings and embankments in April 1839, and, in June, the works were reported to be "in active progress".

The Seghill Railway -the first section of the Blyth and Tyne railway was opened for mineral traffic on the 1st June 1840.

...

It was no doubt in a spirit of friendly co-operation with the North British Company that the Chairman of the Blyth and Tyne Company, Mr. Joseph Laycock, proposed an extension of their railway to Newcastle. By the opening on 31st October 1860, of the line between the Dairy House and North Shields, a part of which it was considered important to have a direct communication was made accessible to North British Company as soon as the Wansbeck Valley line should be completed.

The results of the Parliamentary campaign of 1861 in the House of Commons were not favourable to the North Eastern Company. The Bill to enable the Blyth and Tyne Company to extend their railway to Newcastle and to make a number of other lines via, from Hotspur Place (Shiremoor) to Monkseaton, from South Gosforth to Lough Bridge near Butterwell, from Holywell to Monkton, from Seghill to the Seaton Burn waggonway, from Bottel Demerue to Newbig9in, and from their line at North Shields to proposed docks as the Low Lights and to Tynemouth was passed on the 1st of May.

The early months of 1864 witnessed the extension of the Blyth and Tyne Railway from Hotspur Place near Backworth to Newcastle, in one direction, and to Monkseaton in the other. The formal opening of the Blyth and Tyne extensions took place on 22nd June 1864, the public opening on 27th of that month. The Newcastle terminus of the Blyth and Tyne Railway was Picton House, built, like the Central Station, from the design of John Dobson, but a quarter of a century earlier, on the west bank of the Pandon Dene. The Tynemouth extension of 1860 had stopped short near the Master Mariners Asylum at North Shields, but it was now being carried forwarded to a more suitable termination near the turnpike road. As the Blyth and Tyne Company charged the same fares to Tynemouth as the North Eastern Company, the new line was extremely well patronised, 17,000 passengers mostly of the third class being carried during the first week.

On the little Blyth and Tyne Railway, which was yet independently of the North Eastern Railway, third class carriages were running of a type unsurpassed, perhaps, in the Kingdom. Designed in 1854, they had given such great satisfaction that neither the directors of the line nor the public desired a change of type (Newcastle Chronicle Sept 1st, 1874).
