Hylton Castle is in North Hylton. The settlement developed in the 14th century around the river crossing which was operated by the Lords of Hilton. By the 18th century industries such as shipbuilding contributed to population growth resulting in an 1871 Census return of almost 500.[1]
The area is the subject of the painting A Breezy Day, North Hylton by Richard A Ray.[2]
