A Brickfield. This is not shown on the 2nd edition OS mapping, so was probably out of use by 1895.

A Cavalry and Infantry Barracks, on Barrack Road. The barracks were late 18th century in origin and were enlarged in 1806 to accommodate and train the artillery soldiers stationed to guard Newcastle during the Napoleonic Wars. They became the home of the Royal Northumbrian Fusiliers for the last 80 years of their life prior to their closure and demolition in 1962. On the 2nd edition OS mapping the barracks have expanded and is divided between Infantry and Cavalry. The barracks wall, guard houses, barracks O block, former officers' mess, barracks P block, former sergeants' mess are all listed grade 2, the entrance lodges, walls and gate piers are listed grade 2*. The entrance lodges date to 1806 possibly by James Wyatt RA. Built of sandstone ashlar with English bond brick returns and Welsh slate roofs. There are rifle slits in the wall near the lodges. The north and south guard houses date to 1804-06 by James Wyatt, Surveyor General to the Ordnance Board. Brown sandstone ashlar, rear brick block with slate roof. The artillery barracks officers' mess in English bond brick with brown sandstone dressings. Central entrance has Tuscan columns to entablature blocks with Royal Artillery shields. Fenham Barracks, though thought of such as only recently (most references referred to Newcastle Barracks), has almost two centuries of some form of military activity though is now limited. The site of the barracks should really be thought of as two separate units – those original and those additions and extensions. Agreement was reached between the Newcastle Companies and the Government in 1804 for a total of 11 acres to be rented annually at a rate of £55. The barracks were originally designed to house cavalry and artillery units though the architect responsible is unknown (see below). The building of the barracks had been prompted by the Lord Mayor (James Rudmann) writing to the then Home Secretary in 1793 at the instigation of coal and landowners, as well as businessmen, fearing any revolutionary sentiments of the local populace. Indeed the troops stationed were used to break up a number of strikes by local miners and the Chartists. Construction was complete by April 1806 and cost £40, 000. These barracks were designed by James Johnson and John Saunders. These men may have been the local engineers. Room was provided for 271 men and 294 horses or alternatively 601 men and 292 horses. Two storeys formed these barracks – that for the men being situated above the horses. The early barracks were intended to be supplemented by further building to the south - though agreed by the Council, the building over of the Leazes area, and the occupants of the barracks, provoked a sharp response. Further expansion, was therefore made to the north. These expansion plans, and consequent buildings, will have come about due to the army reforms of the 1870s. Buildings created during this phase included hospital, new guardhouse, reading room, married quarters, magazine and messes. Several of the original barrack blocks were demolished in 1938. A defensive position, though not strictly a pillbox or guard house, is present in the perimeter wall. The site is shown in it’s various phases by Oliver’s 1830 map and the usual Ordnance Survey maps of the area. The holdings of the Tyne and Wear Archive Service is limited under a search for plans deposited under the term Barrack Road. It is possible that much material will be present at central Ministry of Defence records or with the various local regiment archives for their time at Fenham (see the references cited by 3). In 1962 the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers moved from Fenham Barracks and it closed, apart from a TA (Queen's Own Yeomanry) base. The site was subdivided. The infantry barracks site was redeveloped for commerce. The BBC Broadcasting Centre opened in 1986.

A Shaft and Gingang. These were probably out of use by 1895 as they are not shown on the 2nd edition OS mapping.

This was an underground railway built for Porter and Latimer (by William Gilhespie, local engineer) from Spital Tongues Colliery to the Tyne near Glasshouse Bridge. The lease for mining was granted commencing on 25 March 1835, but they were faced with the serious problem of getting the coal from the colliery to the Tyne to be loaded on to colliers. Other collieries had wagonways running to the river, but Spital Tongues was unfortunate in the fact that the city lay between it and the Tyne. In the end a tunnel was excavated from the colliery under the centre of Newcastle to the Tyne close to the Ouseburn. They could have chosen a shorter route, but they wanted to avoid having to pay keelmen's fees for taking the coal in keels to the river mouth, hence the tunnel was built to the Ouseburn. It was built in 1839-42 in stone and brick with a masonry invert arch, with a total length of 1½ miles (2.4km) and at a maximum depth of 85ft (26m) dug through solid clay. There was an extravagant opening ceremony for the Tunnel on 7th April 1842. Cannon fired as a train of eight wagons, carrying coal in four wagons and local dignitaries and band of musicians in the other four, emerged out of the tunnel. There is little contemporary evidence on the building of the Victoria Tunnel, but the construction appears to have gone smoothly, taking two and a half years from 27 June 1839 to 8 January 1842. The artificially arched tunnel had to be constructed for the entire length of the tunnel, which was almost two miles, descending 222ft in its passage from the colliery to the river. And its outfall was near Glasshouse Bridge where it emerged on to two staithes built into the river. The loaded coal wagons went down the incline of the tunnel under their own weight and were drawn back to the colliery by a wire rope attached to a stationary engine. Due to financial difficulties, the tunnel had a short working life and eventually in January 1860 it was closed. In the 1870s the tunnel under the cattle sanatorium was blocked. It remained so for nearly 80 years until 1939, when the City Engineer for Newcastle was considering plans for air-raid shelters. The Victoria Tunnel was converted into an air-raid shelter, with the addition of lighting, wooden bunks and benches, anti-blast baffles and 7 additional entrances at a cost of £37,000 and gave seating capacity of 9000 people. The council's plan of air raid precautions, showing the tunnel and Ouseburn Culvert survives in TWAS. A City Engineer's plan of 1939 shows the design of the air raid shelter fit-out. Council minutes show that the government paid 70% of the fit-out costs. The tunnel was never hit although Heaton was bombed. At then end of the war, most of the fittings were removed and all but one of the entrances were bricked up. The one remaining entrance was left in Ouse Street. An 800m stretch of the tunnel from Ellison Place to Queen Victoria Road was converted into a sewer to replace the Pandon Sewer {4}. Entrances and access points - an access point was created at the Hancock Museum during WW2. Another tunnel entrance was constructed at Barras Bridge. An entrance near City Pool, once used by people from Shieldfield and Ouseburn to get home from town or from the Olympia Cinema on Northumberland Road, has now been covered by John Dobson Street. During a 1941 air raid, 100 bombs were dropped on Jesmond, Byker, St. Peter's, Walker and Shieldfield. 50 people were killed. The raid happened so quickly that few people were able to make it to the Victoria Tunnel. The Ouse Street entrance was built through the retaining wall of 14 Ouse Street. It has survived because it was built on private land.

Spital Tongues Colliery. Opened in 1836. In the 1850s the owners were Edward Richardson & Co. The Victoria Tunnel (HER 4091), an underground railway, was built for Porter and Latimer from Spital Tongues Colliery to the Tyne near Glasshouse Bridge. The lease for mining was granted commencing on 25 March 1835, but they were faced with the serious problem of getting the coal from the colliery to the Tyne to be loaded on to colliers. Other collieries had wagonways running to the river, but Spital Tongues was unfortunate in the fact that the city lay between it and the Tyne. In the end a tunnel was excavated from the colliery under the centre of Newcastle to the Tyne close to the Ouseburn. They could have chosen a shorter route, but they wanted to avoid having to pay keelmen's fees for taking the coal in keels to the river mouth, hence the tunnel was built to the Ouseburn. It was built in 1839-42. The colliery had a short working life due to financial difficulties, closing in 1858.

Spital Tongues Ropery. The site was taken over by Robson's Factory (HER 4318) in the 1880s. The workers lived in nearby Ropery Terrace (HER 16607).

A Level (Coal). This is not shown on the 2nd edition OS mapping, so was probably out of use by 1895.

A Reservoir. This is not shown on the 2nd edition OS mapping, so was out of use by 1895.

Four Reservoirs on the Town Moor. These formed part of the 18th and 19th century water supply system for Newcastle. By the 1870s they had become disused and later formed part of the boating lake in Exhibition Park.

Paradise Colour Works. Labelled as Colour Manufacturer on Plan of Andrew Bowes Estate, 1811. On the 2nd edition OS mapping this site had been taken over by a Cement Works.
