A Clay Shaft, presumably a shaft sunk for clay extraction.

Coalway Lane. The depiction of this road on the OS mapping and its name suggest that it may have been the line of a wagonway, not shown on the 1st edition OS mapping and therefore out of use by 1857.

Wagonway, marked as Old on the 1st edition OS mapping, so was out of use by 1857.

Derwent Bridge Turnpike toll house on road SMR 3644.

Derwent Bridge carried a toll road, (SMR 3644), over the Derwent at Swalwell. Stone arched bridge with pentagonal voussoirs and stone soffit over River Derwent to north of modern road bridge {2}. Attractive, of stone, and visible from Axwell Park. Three segmental spans with pointed cutwaters carried up to half-hexagonal retreats which are also corbelled and panelled {3}. The oldest bridge across the Derwent at Swalwell is the attractive stone road bridge of 1778, known as the Clavering Bridge. The Clavering family lived at nearby Axwell Hall (SMR 4993) and the bridge was ornately designed because of its proximity to the mansion. It was built to carry the main turnpike road from Newcastle to Hexham. The bridge was disfigured by a road accident in the winter of 1913/14. The repairs after this accident can still be seen. The bridge has 3 segmental spans with pointed cutwaters {4}.

Toll Road from Gateshead to Hexham. Had tolls at Crawcrook (SMR 3300). Left the county at Stanleyburn Bridge (SMR 3627) {1}. In 1663 an act was passed to permit parishes responsible for roads which passed through them to collect money from travellers to be spent on the upkeep of the roads. The roads were called Turnpikes owing to the fact that a pole or pike, resting on a central post was put across the road and swung round when the toll was paid to allow the traffic through. The Gateshead - Hexham Turnpike, constructed in 1776/7, came from Gateshead via the bridge at Swalwell, to the brickworks at Blaydon Burn, from where it ran up Summerhill Bank to Path Head and then onto Ryton. Typical tolls would be 1/2d for people on foot, 2s for coaches, chariots or landau drawn by six horses, two horses 9d, every drove of cows, hogs, goats, sheep per score 3d. People travelling to church on Sundays were exempt, also when travelling to funerals or visiting the sick. There were nine toll bars on the Gateshead Hexham Turnpike. In the 19th century footraces were run on the turnpike {2}.

Stanleyburn Bridge. Carried the Gateshead to Hexham road, (SMR 3628), over the Stanley Burn. The burn forms the county boundary here, so the bridge lies in both Tyne and Wear and Northumberland {1}. Documentary evidence suggests that the structure was the main crossing of the burn in this position until the mid to late 1840s. Up to 1840 when the tithe plan was drawn up there is only one bridge at this location. On the plan drawn up for the sale of the Bradley Estate however in 1848, there are clearly two bridges on the site of which the northernmost is no longer part of a road route across the burn. It would appear, then, that the older bridge did carry the Hexham Road over the burn and is the bridge which is shown on a number of earlier plans as a considerable narrowing of the turnpike road crossing the Stanley Burn. The plans also show the road taking a sharp bend to approach the bridge, presumably to alleviate the steepness of the banks of the burn. A 19th century plan which is thought to be a tracing of a plan of 1766 indicates a bridge crossing the burn at this point and a meandering path from Prudhoe approaching it. The road was turnpiked in 1777 and the plan clearly pre-dates this occurrence. The suggestion is therefore that a bridge was already in situ prior to the turnpiking of the road and was utilised as the crossing point when the road was improved. Proving probably an unsatisfactory arrangement a new crossing was built in the 1840s and the old bridge was used as a footpath crossing, and has survived as such to the present day. The current road bridge is said to have been rebuilt in the early 2oth century. The suggestion is therefore that this structure was in situ by 1766 and is therefore of some antiquity {2}. Large, closely-jointed random stone bridge with stone arch beneath. Solidly built but narrow with no parapets but timber fencing to the top. Until the building of the present bridge in 1904 this served as the main crossing point over the Stanley Burn, which was originally the border between the counties of Northumberland and Durham. Although it was a key site it seems to have been designed only for pedestrian and horseback traffic rather than vehicles, since it is unusual in having no parapets. It is likely that its survival is due to the fact that the principal turnpike to the West was through Greenside and Hedley-on-the-Hill rather than here.

A substantial bank of disused lime kilns, with 25 access and draw arches, along a 328ft/100m frontage. Construction varies, using brick, sandstone and magnesian limestone. One block near the western end is dated 1872, another at the east end, 1821. These kilns are on the site of the Wear Lime Works (SMR 2697) which received its lime from the quarries at Fulwell {1}. Cornhill Lime Kilns - large bank of kilns containing 25 arches but this might not represent the number of kilns as some seemed to give access to an internal passage running parallel to the Quay. Most arches are bricked up. Earliest were built 1821, latest dated set 1872 {3}. Very impressive 25 arch multiple bank of riverside kilns dating from at least 1821. Extending some 100m from west to east the kilns, which have seven phases of construction, illustrate a marked evolution of architectural design and scale of production. The west end consists of a heavily buttressed bank of two kilns of randomly coursed sandstone masonry built into a cliff of sandstone; the westernmost is probably the earlier of the two structures. To the east a further battery of kilns consists of roughly coursed random sandstone masonry construction with three segmental draw arches and large dressed arch supports. Two almost identical banks of kilns lie to the east. A brick-built battery of kilns with four blocked segmental arches; external girders and tie bars extends to the east, the upper part showing a considerable rebuilding phase. The east end includes a very large battery of well-dressed and coursed sandstone masonry with 12 blocked arches and one high central arch of unknown function. Each building phase butts the previous kiln battery forming a continuous 100m long façade {4}. An enormous bank of disused limekilns with some 25 draw and access arches, mainly blocked along a 328ft (100m) frontage, the kilns themselves being largely filled in. In blocks of varying construction (sandstone, magnesian limestone and brick) and period, one block near the west end carries an 1872 keystone, while the large block at the east end carries an 1821 keystone. A chute can be seen which passes through the block from above, perhaps for delivering ready burned lime, or limestone arriving at the kilns from Fulwell. At the west end are two, possibly three kilns with a curved front wall {1}.

A branch of the Hetton Company Railway (SMR 2848) to Elemore Colliery (SMR 3230). This was a self-acting incline built in 1825. Its ropes were removed between 1890 and 1902, but it continued in use until 1959 {2}.
