Description

Wallsend is a western suburb of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia 11 kilometres (7 mi) from Newcastle's central business district. It is part of the City of Newcastle local government area. Wallsend also contains one of the three Newcastle Mosques, on Metcalfe street. Wallsend began as two mining towns, Wallsend and Plattsburg. Wallsend was the more developed and as it grew it linked to Plattsburg via Nelson Street. Wallsend was proclaimed a separate municipality in early 1874 but the two areas had re-joined by 1915. The coal mined at Wallsend was of very good quality and the township prospered creating the commercial hub it is today.
