Ballast hills on the Bents, and the area now occupied by the Marine Parks, South Shields. The ballast was brought to the hills from ships on the river via railway HER 2447 and from St Hilda's Colliery via ballast railway HER 2427. Many of the ships brought ballast dredged from the River Thames, and dumped it at South Shields when they took on a cargo of coal, chemicals and limestone. Ballast consists of gravel, sand and sometimes chalk. Ballast had been disposed of on land since at least 18th century. There were regulations against dumping it into the river as the Tyne was already shallow in places and there was a sand bar across the river mouth. When ballast dumping ceased, the ballast hills in South Shields were levelled to create the North and South Marine Parks (HER 1842).

A Toll Road from East Boldon to South Shields. Its northern end formed a junction with the Gateshead to South Shields road (HER ref. 2287). Tolls included Biddick Check Chain, (HER ref. 2393) and Boldon North Bridge (HER ref. 2316).

Templetown Colliery, was connected to St. Hilda's and Harton Drops (HER 2236) by the Harton Colliery Railway, (SMR 2449). Also known as Manor Wallsend or Chapter Main, Templetown Colliery was opened in 1805 by Simon Temple junior, who had leased the Coal Royalties from the Dean and Chapter of Durham, then owned by a Mr Brown, then in 1813 by a Mr Devey. The colliery was taken over by Robert and John William Brandling in 1819 and closed in 1826 although it was kept open as an air shaft for St. Hilda's Colliery (HER 2355).

The Templetown Wagonway/Harton Coal Company Railway ran between Templetown Colliery (HER 2450) and the Harton and St. Hilda's Drops on the line of the earlier Templetown Wagonway. Along with other elements of the system, this line was electrified in 1908. The original wagonway probably opened in 1810 when the Colliery opened. Bell (1843) shows the waggonway running south-west and joining with the waggonway from Manor Wallsend Colliery and then on to Manor Wallsend Staiths. Section from Hilda Hole mineral sidings to Harton High Staith (HER 2236) dismantled. The poles for carrying the overhead electricity wires are still in place.

Historic Ordnance Survey Map evidence shows the location of Tyne Dock Forge.

This ballast railway replaced an adjacent line (HER ref. 2349) in the 1830s and appears on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan to be depositing ballast onto the beach below Lawe Bank. It ran through a tunnel from Salmon's Quay and across the site of Arbeia Roman Fort. It closed in 1856.

These saw mills are not shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan, so were built after 1855.

This ship repairing yard is not shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan, so was built after 1855. It was built over part of the northern end of the North Eastern Railway, Pontop and South Shields Branch (HER ref. 2290).

This brewery is not shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan, so was built after 1855. It is on the site of the former Stanhope and Tyne Drops (HER ref. 2336).

Engineering Works. These is not shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan, so presumably were built after 1855.
