Description
Watchtower erected in the 1830s by Trinity House, Newcastle. A castellated building with circular tower. There was a crest bearing the motto 'Deus Dabit Vela' (God will give the sails) and an anchor. The pilots (Purvis, Marshall, Bones) lived on The Lawe, close to the Pilot Stairs. In the late C19 it became the home of the under-gardeners of North Marine Park. From 1950 students from the Marine and Technology College had radar training there. It was demolished around 1970. In the 1970s a stone shrine was unveiled on the site of Trinity Towers.

An excavation in 2017 revealed that the majority of the structures from Trinity Towers had been extensively demolished. Only some structural remains from the eastern end of Trinity Towers survived in the northern arm of the trenches. Part of the interior of one component of the building survived being defined by a north-northwest wall with two return walls to the west. The walls were constructed on a concrete foundation plinth and built from bricks bonded with a firm white cement.
