Warehouse comprising the much altered remains of the former Skinnerburn Iron Foundary (HER 4886). The structure was amalgamated into cattle pens for the Co-operative Warehouse Society Ltd (CWSL) c.1927. The buildings were then adapted for other industrial uses during the 20th century until some elements were converted into residential usage in the recent past. The NW elevation on Pottery Lane is the principal entrance. The interior of the warehouse contains late 19th century elements of older buildings. The warehouse has been subdivided by a recent concrete block wall. The flooring was noted in 2015 as being of modern poured concrete. A steel lintel forming part of the earlier part of the building was was embossed 'Skiningrove England'. The first floor level may have originally been offices but is much altered and may have recently been used as residential accomodation.

The structure was amalgamated into cattle pens for the Co-operative Warehouse Society Ltd (CWSL) c.1927. The buildings were then adapted for other industrial uses during the 20th century until some elements were converted into residential usage in the recent past. The NW elevation on Pottery Lane is the principal entrance. One of the two doorways retains its masonry surround, lintel and steps. The interior of the warehouse contains late 19th century elements of an older NE-SW aligned shed first depicted on 1896 mapping and a small NW-SE aligned building on the Forth Banks frontage possibly extant before 1862. The warehouse has been subdivided by a recent concrete block wall. The flooring was noted in 2015 as being of modern poured concrete. A steel lintel forming part of the earlier part of the building was embossed 'Skiningrove England'. The first floor level may have originally been offices. The interior is much altered and may have recently been used as residential accommodation. The horizontal range of windows overlooking Forth Banks are modern in date.

It is unclear what this is from map evidence. A 19th century Garden House existed to the north east (HER 17238).

Description
Felling Farm shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey Plan 1857. Two building ranges are shown. The Felling Farm label is situated next to the eastern most range. By the 1898 plan the western range is labelled Felling Farm while the eastern buildings are Felling House. There were two lodges to the properties built between the mid-late 19th century. They were located on the western edge of the site near the railway line (now on the corner of Abbotsford Road and Green Lane) and at the eastern edge (now Carlisle Street). The eastern lodge is labelled as Heworth Lodge on some plans. Felling House, and lodge, was demolished between 1916-1940 and built over. Felling Farm survived until at least 1952. It is unclear what the relationship between these two building ranges was.

A building in this position is shown on the 1826 plan of Felling Estate in the 'Common Garden' and unlabelled on Fryer's Felling Estate Plan of 1809. By 1896 the house seems to have been enlarged but the gardens to the north are now depicted as a field. The gardens to the south are allotments. Garden House is still shown on the 1952 plan. Unclear whether a dwelling or large garden building. Now demolished.

An archaeological evaluation of a single trench on the corner of High Street East and Low Street revealed archaeological deposits in the form of ballast dumps cut by phases of wall of probable post-medieval origin. The walls were a mixture of clay bonded stone, possibly representing an early building plot on the riverside, and later stone bnd brick walls of larger buildings. The evaluation showed that in this area well preserved walls pre-dating 18th-19th century cellars surive at 1.2m bgl.

Culvert of the Briardene burn. Recorded prior to destruction in 2009 as part of the development of Eccles Colliery. The culvert reached at a depth of 3.5m bgl and survived to a length of 14m. The culvert [1.27m wide by 1.76m in height], was constructed from a double row of unfrogged bricks. These were laid on end to create a wall that was 0.23m thick. Overlying the culvert was 20th century made ground up to 3.4m thick. The total length of the culvert was 139m and appeared to have been deliberately collapsed and partially removed to the south of the surviving section.Only the northern entrance was open.

Harton primary school comprised of three main buildings and a kitchen/canteen block. The main buildings comprised the Stephenson and Christie buildings which housed the junior school and the infants school. The buildings were built in one phase in the 1930s and opened November 1939. The architects were J H Morton and Son of South Shields. Air raid shelters were constructed within the grounds of the school (HER 17233). The buildings were recorded in 2009 prior to demolition. Internally all of the buildings matched the original floor plans. Period features survived within many of the rooms.
