Howdon
Howdon is an area in the eastern part of Wallsend, Tyne and Wear, England, a former coal-mining and shipbuilding town on the north banks of the River Tyne. The North Tyneside ward population at the 2011 Census was 11,129.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=North Tyneside Ward population 2011 )〕
==History==
Most of Howdon was built after the Second World War, as the consequence of a drive for improved, low-cost housing for working-class families.〔 This housing was mainly in the public sector, being owned and maintained by the local council. It was built on what had been agricultural land to the north of the main railway line (from Newcastle to Tynemouth) that was to separate the new council housing from the older, industrial area of Willington Quay, where a great deal of housing had either been destroyed by wartime bombing, or by programmes of slum clearance.
Although most of the housing in Howdon belonged to the local council, a number of privately owned and rented properties always existed in the centre of the area. Since right-to-buy legislation was introduced in the 1980s, many former council tenants have bought their homes, which has resulted in a large percentage of former council properties becoming privately owned.
Apart from the railway, Howdon was separated from the industry of Willington Quay by Howdon Park, that featured tennis courts, bowling greens, a children's play area (including a paddling pool) and flower beds. This fell into disarray but was partly restored, due to pressure from the local community, during the 1990s.
