Sparrow Hall
The Dove family, local coal owners, built a large 3 storey Jacobean house in Cullercoats in 1682. It stood in grounds near to the cliffs and the apex stone of the house had the family coat of arms - a dove and the initials TD & ED (Thomas Dove and Elizabeth Dove). In later years it became locally known as "Sparrow Hall" as people mistook the dove as a sparrow hawk! [1] "Old Sparrow Hall" was the subject of a painting by Thomas Miles Richardson (1784–1848).[2] Winslow Homer (1836-1910) also did an oil painting "Sparrow Hall" in c.1882.[3] The building was demolished in 1979.
