Once the largest housing estate in Europe until overtaken by a German development, however, Ingleby Barwick on Teesside has recently taken over this mantle. Newton Hall sits outside Durham City Centre. Most of the housing was built in the 1960s, 70s and 80s and is mainly 2 and 3 bedroomed Detached and semi-detached houses, along with some 1 and 2 bedroomed flats. The original community centre,which was one of the original farm buildings, along with the playground and tennis courts were was demolished in 2007 to make way for a small development of housing.
