History
Originally known as “Dark Creek”, Jesmond was the location of orchards and steam saw-mills. A village was established in the area by 1883 with around 600 residents. A soap works was established in the area in the 1880s. There is some contradiction as to the source of “Jesmond” as the suburb’s name with different sources attributing it to the Tyneside town in the North of England and “Jesmond Dene”, a park in Jesmond.
