Introduction The Redheugh Estate was one of several large landed properties in Gateshead which survived in the form of a gentleman's residence surrounded by gardens and agricultural land until the development of industry and housing in the area in the mid-nineteenth century. In 1748 the estate was purchased from the Radcliffe family by Adam Askew, M.D., of Newcastle upon Tyne. It remained in the Askews' hands for a century and a half, but was gradually reduced in size by sales and leases for building and mining developments.
The Askew Family at Redheugh The precise origins of the Askews of Redheugh remain unclear, (C.R. Hudleston and R.S. Boumphrey, Cumberland Families and Heraldry, (Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archaeological Sociey, 1978), p.8), but by the eighteenth century they were established among the gentry of north-west England. Anthony Askew, a physician in Kendal, Westmorland, married Anne Storrs, a Lancashire heiress, and thereby acquired Storrs Hall. Their son and heir Adam, after education at Cambridge, established a notable medical practice in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1725. From then until his death in 1773 he invested the considerable profits from his practice in lands scattered round the north of England, including the estate at Redheugh with which this deposit deals. For biographical details concerning Adam Askew, see R. Welford, Men of Mark 'Twixt Tyne and Tweed, (3 vols, Newcastle upon Tyne, 1895), I, 115-20.
Adam Askew entailed his landed property by means of trusts declared in his will. Of Henry's tenure no details survive; he appears in the deeds in section A as owner of lands in Little Stainton, Co. Durham, which he acquired by his marriage to Dorothy Boultby, ( Victoria County History of Durham, (London, 1928), III, 215), and in Monk Hesledon, Co. Durham, his title to which remains untraced. On Henry's death without issue in 1796, the Redheugh Estate passed to his nephew, Adam Askew the younger [1762-1844], son and heir of Anthony, the deceased eldest son of Adam Askew the elder.
Although Adam Askew the younger married twice, it was clear by 1832 that he would die childless and that the life-tenancy at Redheugh would pass, according the the terms of the entail, to his brother Henry, rector of Greystoke in Cumberland. Henry's son and heir, Henry William Askew [1808-90], married in that year Lucy Percy, daughter of the bishop of Carlisle. The settlement upon their marriage confirmed the entail, perserving the life-interests as under the old will down to Henry's death [1852] and thereafter settling the estate upon two trustees, Adam Washington and James Pulleine, to hold to the use of Henry William for life, in trust for his sons and heirs. The deeds in sections B and D refer to the land dealings of Adam Askew the younger in Gateshead both before 1832, when he acquired an interest in St Helen's Close, adjacent to Redheugh, and after the resettlement, when he conveyed the riverside portions of the estate to railway companies. Section C covers the 1832 settlement.
From 1852, Henry William as life-tenant, with the trustees, undertook some piecemeal disposal of parcels of the estate [section E]. 1868 saw the coming-of-age and marriage of his son, Henry Hugh Askew. Instead of simply making a new settlement, Henry William [life-tenant and protector of the settlement] and Henry Hugh [tenant in tail] agreed to disentail the estate as a whole, in order to facilitate sales and leasing of those portions not yet disposed of nor earmarked for disposal. All interests in the estate were to be divided between Heny William and Henry Hugh in the proportion 43%:57%. Profits from sales already contracted, as well as the remaining lands, monies and mining rights, were all so divided. Henry William held his share outright; the other was held by Thomas Johnston and Edward Tyrell Lewis, trustees, to the use of Henry Hugh for life. Section F contains the deeds relating to the dispersal of Henry William's share of the estate and those in section H cover conveyances by Henry Hugh and the trustees.
Rights to mine coal and fireclay under the surface of the land were carefully reserved throughout these transactions. They were leased out in toto in 1871 to John Fleming and John Milling, who sank the Redheugh Colliery in 1872 and mined successfully for several decades. The detailed leasing arrangements which assured the Askews of shares in the profits from coal are found in section I.
The Development of Redheugh Although much of Gateshead remained agricultural until the nineteenth century, industry was not new to the area. Coal-mining had been a major enterprise since the Middle Ages; after a lull in the late seventeenth century, new technological expertise paved the way for deeper and more difficult mining. Other established industries included glass, iron and rope manufacture. Nevertheless certain estates, including Redheugh, remained suitable residences for the gentry. For Redheugh, the turning-point was the construction of the Redheugh branch of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway in the 1830s (see G. Whittle, The Newcastle and Carlisle Railway London, 1979, pp.31-3, 43-4, 46). Even before the line opened, Adam Askew had moved south, leasing Redheugh Hall and its gardens in 1835 to William Cuthbert, a Newcastle glass-manufacturer. The new lines passed close to the Hall; further railway expansion, including Askew's grant to the companies of his lands along the river banks, rendered the house wholly undesirable as a gentleman's residence (F. W. Manders, A History of Gateshead (Gateshead, 1973), pp. 114-15, 130-2). Henry Askew attempted to sell the whole estate for building in 1850, but no buyer could be found. Development in the area did not offer a good investment until access to and from Newcastle was improved by the building of Redheugh Bridge across the Tyne, begun in 1865 and completed in 1871 (ibid., pp. 121-1). The striking effect on the area is illustrated in these deeds: conveyances which had been a trickle in the 1850s and 1860s increased to a flood in the 1870s, as the Askews sold land for housing and industrial building, and at the same time leased coal-mining rights.
The Askews' deeds tell something, but not all, of the history of this massive development. The majority of the land conveyances contain covenants concerning the construction of specified raods, with drainage and prohibiting house-building without written approval from the vendors and their surveyors. Thus the deeds provide a detailed outline of projected roads and housing at the time the lands left the Askews' possession. They do not, however, show which projects failed or why some remain incomplete - except in the case of the bankrupt speculator Thomas Caulfield (see no. 95). It is equally impossible to determine from the documents the nature and quality of each development, nor the living conditions in those houses which were built. For information on the industrialists and speculators and on the results of their activities, it is necessary to look elsewhere (ibid., especially chapters 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8, and references).
The location and extent of the Redheugh Estate in the early nineteenth century is shown most conveniently on the Gateshead Tithe Apportionment of 1839, a copy of which is held by this repository. Many of the deeds in the deposit have maps or plans which show either the individual plots being conveyed or changes over the whole area of the estate. The Altered Tithe Apportionment of 1885, also in this repository, shows development in progress, as do successive sheets of the 25 inch Ordnance Survey, Durham Sheets II, 16 and VI, 3 and 4.

This deposit of deeds covers the later years of the Askew's ownership of the Redheugh Estate, especially from the 1830s to the 1880s. It relates particularly to the disposal of land and mining rights by the family and their trustees under various settlements. The deeds were preserved as a record of the family's continuing interest in the area during the gradual disposal of land and rights. During these years successive family settlements altered the nature and degree of interest of individual members of the family, which in turn affected the disposal of portions of the estate.

Accession details

Deposited by the British Records Association in Durham University Library, Palace Green in June 1948 and transferred to the Prior's Kitchen, Durham City in April 1958. They were presented to the BRA by Messrs Beachcroft, Hay & Ledward, solicitors, 29 Bedford Square, London W1. With an additional document (62A) added by Lorna Cowan in October 2013 (Acc No Misc.2013/14:11).

Arrangement

The arrangement of the documents reflects their legal and administrative background. Apart from sections A and B, which refer to lands outside the boundaries of the Redheugh Estate, the deeds are arranged in sections according to the successive settlements and in interests; within each section C-H the deeds follow the disposal of land chronologically. Finally, section I covers the leasing of mining rights beneath the estate. The break-up of the Redheugh Estate did not follow a coherent geographical progression: users interested in particular streets should consult the place-name index at the end. Similarly, individual developers invested in Redheugh land at various times, and users concerned the particular persons or companies should consult the index of persons and institutions.
