Blaydon Star Rugby Club formed in 1888. The present Blaydon Rugby Football Club has been based at Crow Trees since 1951. It raises funds through car boot sales every Sunday. The 350 seater stand was bought from Gateshead International Stadium in 1980. It cost £3000 to buy and £1500 to re-erect.

The home of South Shields Football Club since 1992. Before that this was the ground of the Filtrona company, manufacturers of cigarette filters. The ground cost £400,000 and holds 2000 spectators. The first football club in South Shields formed in 1899 and were based at Horsley Hill (HER 11811). The second club played within the grounds of Simonside Hall from 1951-74. This ground attracted 18,500 people for a cup tie against York in 1957. The ground is now built over with houses. The current South Shields FC is known as the Mariners. It formed in 1974. They played their first 18 seasons on a council pitch in Jack Clark Park.

The cricket ground was laid out by switchgear manufacturering company Reyrolle in 1928. Employees were charged a few pence a week for use of its facilities. In the late 1940s it was open to the public. In 1982 South Tyneside Council bought the ground and now lease it to Hebburn Sports and Social Club, which includes Hebburn Town FC (HER 16959), cricket, tennis and bowls. Lynn Pearson describes the pavilion as 'rather quirky'.

Formed in 1912. Their pitch was on South Drive, Hebburn.

Formed in 1944 and dubbed the 'Home Guard' team. In order to be able to play on the Glebe (see HER 15698) the club had to have a colliery affiliation so they renamed themselves Axwell Park Colliery Welfare Team. The mine closed in 1954. The National Coal Board sold the Glebe to Whickham Council who leased it to the newly formed Glebe Sports Club, representing both the cricket club and the football club. The football club reverted to its original name Whickham FC. It achieved fame in 1981 by winning the FA Vase at Wembley. The semi final against Eton at the Glebe attracted over 3000 people. Because they share the ground with the cricket club, Whickham FC has to play its first 7 to 8 fixtures away. They then have to erect a temporary barrier along the touchline that backs onto the cricket field.

Originally called the Washington Mechanics, the Northern League club was formed in 1947 by miners at Washington F Pit. The club moved to Albany Park in 1980. There is a clubhouse on the south touchline and on the north, a spectators shelter erected in 1987 using various materials such as domestic panelled doors.

South Shields Golf Club was formed at a public meeting on 6th June 1893. 9 holes (but no bunkers) were laid out on 26 acres of land at Cleadon Hills belonging to Sunniside Farm, with a total yardage of 2540. The fields were divided up by walls so stiles had to be provided. The architect was founder member, Thomas Page. The annual rent for the land was £15. The Official opening of the course was on 28th October 1893. Sir Hedworth Williamson was elected president. An overdraft of £100 was taken out to build a clubhouse with a verandah, to buy a roller, turf cutter, spade and blackboard. In 1903/1904 the course was extended to eighteen holes. In 1908 the Durham County Golf Union was formed and South Shields was a member from the start. In 1913 the club acquired the two fields south of the windmill. Dr C.A. Mackenzie was the architect for the new holes, greens and bunkers (he designed the Augusta National Course and wrote a book on Golf Course Architecture in 1920). However in 1914 the military took over the course. The club was paid £12 a month compensation. In 1915 half of the course was returned to the club and 12 holes were opened. In 1919 the whole course was returned. The club received £490 compensation. This money was used on a revised course layout in 1920. Turf came from frenchman's Bay, stone from Cleadon Quarry and sand for the bunkers from Cleadon sandpits. In 1922 the verandah was enclosed. Between 1922 and 1928 there were course alterations. 187 acres of land were acquired from the Church Commissioners at Cleadon Hill Farm. In 1925 the holes near the windmill were abandoned. By 1928 the course was the layout that remains today. The committee also decided to give up the 'far field' that contained the second and third greens. This field is now part of Whitburn Golf Club. The North Durham Golf League was set up in 1938 and South Shields was a member. The clubhouse was altered in 1966. In the 1990s land was acquired next to Cleadon Pumping Station. In 2011 a new pavilion was designed by Fitz Architects of Sunderland. It features a living roof, balcony and terraces. Women have been members of the club since it was formed in 1893.

Formed in 1875. In 1904 the club moved to Sunderland Road as tenants of the Church Commissioners. The present pavilion was designed by two club members, Jim Hall and Ken Murta, architects with W & TR Milburn of Sunderland. It cost £9,000 and opened in May 1966. The pavilion has open balconies, an external staircase and a scorebox at roof level. In the block to the left there are two squash courts, built in 1974 at a cost of £14,000. Two extra courts were added later to cope with demand.

Excellent example of a 1960s pavilion. Completed in 1964. The building has a full width, wrap-around balcony and picture windows. It has an external staircase and flat roof.

Primitive Methodist Chapel 1909-1975. Red brick with ashlar dressings, lancet windows, datestone. Demolished c.2011.
