Elermore Vale, Newcastle — Area Guide & Where to Stay

What are the main landmarks in Elermore Vale?

The Russian Orthodox church at Wallsend is the nearest named building. Elermore Vale itself keeps no monument of its own, and the coal workings and farm land that once covered the ground have gone under houses, leaving streets rather than sights for a visitor to find. Newcastle holds the rest.

Adamstown Oval, further round the city, is another of the few features New South Wales lists for these suburbs.

What is the history of Elermore Vale?

Before houses, Elermore Vale was worked ground: chicken farming, cattle farming and coal mining all took their turn on the land that the suburb's streets were later laid across. Residential building followed in the 1900s. By the 1960s the school and the suburb's other facilities had been established, and Elermore Vale had settled into the residential shape it keeps on the edge of Newcastle.

Where is Elermore Vale?
