The town has expanded greatly in terms of housing since the end of World War II, and
since the 1960s. Wallsend Town Centre—including the main shopping area known as
the "Wallsend Forum"—is in fact to the west of the land covered by the town. To the
north of this area lies the older estate of High Farm and the new estate of Hadrian
Lodge. The town centre of Wallsend is separated from the eastern areas of the town
by the Wallsend Burn, a stream running through a small glacial valley from north-west
to south-east and through the Willington Gut into the River Tyne.
