Crawcrook
Description
Coal was shallow and fairly easily accessible in Crawcrook , only requiring efficient land-transport to get it to the tidal reaches of the River Tyne in the Ryton area for transhipment on to keels. The Crawcrook Way was in use by 1663. At this time, it ran between dispersed coal-pits near Crawcrook to a staith at Holburn Dene on the River Tyne opposite Newburn; the most westerly staith of the coalfield. Some of the coal was diverted on a line reaching the River Tyne to the west of Stella Hall by 1705.

West Denton
Description
Newburn Pool (West Denton was in Newburn parish) was built by Newburn Urban District Council, costing £278,000. Opened in January 1970. Designed by John Poulson. This was Newcastle's first metric pool, built to the new standard length of 33.3m (just short of the previous norm of 110 feet). This is still the longest competition pool in Newcastle. Now called the Outer West Pool, a 25m training pool and fitness centre was added in 2009. The 1970s entrance has been removed to make way for the extension. It is home to Newburn Amateur Swimming Club which originated as Arthur's Hill Club at the end of the 19th century.
