House & Family History: Some of the land from the Benwell Hall Estate was sold in 1924 to create a sports field for Vickers Limited, the British engineering corporation. This land ultimately became a training ground for Newcastle United football club. When plans to convert the House to executive apartments failed, Benwell Hall was demolished, in spite of a public outcry. The House was replaced by a housing development.
