This Quarry is marked as ‘Old’ on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey plan, so was probably out of use by 1895.

This was the site of a windmill before 1649, with the last mill being built here in 1782. This last mill was the first five sailed windmill in the country, a smock mill designed by Smeaton, and may have been the last working windmill in Newcastle. It fell out of use in 1872. Prior to this the mill had been part of a complex which contained other activities, including a snuff mill. Following its closure it was utilised by Newcastle Golf Club as a clubhouse. The surviving window arrangements were installed at this time along with a new front to the building. The sails were dismantled in 1924, the fan tail removed in 1931 and the windshaft and cap removed in 1951. It remained in use as a clubhouse until the early 1970s when it was restored by and became an architect's office for Thomas Faulkner. The covering of the tower was replaced with a modern "shiplap" boarding and a temporary flat cap was erected. From 1983 fashion designer Nigel Cabourn had work space in there. At some point during the life of the golf club, asbestos tiling was laid over this earlier covering.
The buildings were listed Grade II in 1987 with the following description:
'Mill and house, later golf club, now offices. 1782 by Smeaton. Built as 5-sailed mill. House of brick with painted ashlar dressings: 2 storeys, 3 bays; golf club front, added 1892, has bracketed canopy and raised surround, with NGC (Newcastle Golf Club) on one bracket and 1892 on the other, flanked by windows in raised stone surrounds; similar surround to single and tripartite first floor windows; battlemented parapet. Mill above of weatherboarding with wooden gallery: octagonal, with bargeboarded gables to windows in alternate bays; parapet. Historical note: in use as a mill until 1892; as a golf club until 1975. Windshaft and cap removed 1951.'

This was Robson's Furniture Factory. The company had a shop in Northumberland Street. The factory opened on the site of Spital Tongues ropery (HER 4089) in the 1880s. Furniture for churches, offices, domestic use and ships (Mauretania and Berengaria) was made here. Ancrum Street, Oxnam Terrace and Dunns Terrace are named after border towns from which many of Robson's employees came from.

Cowhill Tollhouse stood at the junction of Claremont Road and Grandstand Road. Its actual location is unclear on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey plan.

The Redheugh Bridge is marked as a Toll Bridge on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey plan. This was a steel truss bridge, built in 1870 to the design of Thomas Bouch, and demolished in 1901. Thirty years after construction the Bridge Company decided to reconstruct it, and placed the work in the hands of their engineers Messrs J.W Sandeman & Moncrieff. The four original cylinders in each pier were replaced by four circular steel cylinders sunk under pneumatic pressure down to a satisfactory foundation. The cylinders had an external diameter of 8 feet, and had an inner tube 3 feet in diameter. At the bottom of the cylinder the inner tube sloped outwards to meet the outer tube, thus forming a working chamber for the men employed in sinking the cylinder. The steel trusses of the new bridge were built alongside the trusses of the original bridge, and afterwards moved into position. The use of the bridge by foot passengers was practically uninterrupted and vehicular traffic was interrupted for a few weeks only.

Armstrong's Elswick and Scotswood Works formed the most important heavy engineering complex in the region in the late 19th century. William Armstrong started a small factory on the riverside at Elswick in 1847 making hydraulic machinery. In time the works expanded to encompass armaments and shipbuilding, and had extended more than a mile along the river bank by the opening of the 20th century. Armstrong's death in 1900 and the concentration on armaments led to the decline of the firm following the First World War. The company was taken over by Vickers in 1928. The Scotswood Works were closed in 1979 and demolished to make way for a new armaments factory which opened in 1982. The earlier complex is now the site of Newcastle Business Park. The main surviving structural remains of these works comprise a series of nine concrete arches on stone bases, with four partially blocked smaller arches, altogether in the region of 30 feet high and 70 yards in length. Further to the east are other structures, including the remains of three truncated arches. These surviving structures probably date from the earlier part of this century, so are not part of the original works.

Elswick Railway Station on the North Eastern Railway, Newcastle and Carlisle Branch was designed by J and W Simpson of North Shields, and built between 1888-9 at a cost of £3500. Previous requests for a station in Elswick in the early 1870s had been turned down. The station closed in 1967 due to dwindling passenger numbers.

South Benwell Fire Brick Works, also known as the E & M Yard. This opened after 1858. Davidson says the yard was working from 1828-1934. Elsewhere he says that it opened in the 1850s. This later date is probably correct. It was run by the Carr family, using clay from their Benwell Charlotte
Colliery, and was automated after 1894. It was split into two yards, with 27 Newcastle Kilns, from which firebricks were transported by river and rail to many of the other Tyneside industries. William Cochrane-Carr established the E & M Firebrick Works at Low Benwell a few years after 1850, (possibly after 1858). He had previously taken over the Emmerson and Milner brickyard at Blaydon Burn in 1850 and retained its E & M trademark. Fireclay was supplied from their Benwell Charlotte Colliery. Fireclay goods were still being produced by hand moulding in 1894. By 1912, there was a machine press. The works occupied a river frontage of 430 yards and was split into two areas – East Yard and Old Yard, and between the two was Low Benwell drift and staith. The East Yard had 11 Newcastle kilns; the Old Yard had about 16 Newcastle kilns. Goods were dispatched by ship and railway and supplied firebricks to a number of Tyneside works, as well as exports to Mediterranean and North Sea ports, America, India and China.

This Quarry is not shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan, indicating that it was operating in the period after 1858.

High Cross Brick Works are not shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan, so were probably opened after 1858.
