A reinforced concrete bridge of c1913 spanning Willington Dene. The only early ferro-concrete bridge in the County.
Listed building consent was granted for its demolition in 2007. Bridge demolished in 2008. New one built 2009. TWM Archaeology recorded the bridge before demolition.
Former listing description:
Bridge. Circa 1913. Reinforced concrete. 5 trestles and curved abutments support road deck. 7 pairs of piers with low pyramidal coping support spike-headed iron parapet railing.

A finely constructed 80 feet (24.4 metres) elliptical span which is only part of a long viaduct from Newcastle Central Station to Manors Station. Built in 1848, but widened to the north in 1894 on a slightly larger span. Another part of the viaduct takes the form of an iron bridge (at NZ 250639) with diamond grid bracing in the spandrels, built by Abbots of Gateshead in 1849. LISTED GRADE 2

The oldest of the surviving bridges crossing the lower Ouseburn. Built early to mid 18th century of coursed, squared sandstone. The name derives from Thomas Crawford who owned a number of properties in the area in the early C19. There is an OS benchmark and a mason's mark on the parapets. Bridge. Early/mid C18. Coursed squared sandstone. Segmental arch recessed under chamfered abutment; parapet courses follow slope of road, high at centre. Chamfered coping to parapet ending in low piers, with pyramidal coping to that at south-west, and continuous stretch of wall about three metres at north-east. Stone drains from road surface protrude through north-east and south-west faces. Mason's mark - diagonal cross in square - above road at centre of west parapet, O.S. bench mark above road at centre of east parapet.

Constructed in 1878 to overcome the need to descend and ascend the steep sides of the Lower Ouseburn Valley. 1878 for pedestrians, 1879 for raod traffic. A toll was charged for its use until 1895. Cost £50,000 to build. Originally a toll bridge. Purchased by City Council in 1890 for £107,500. Between 1878 and 1895 a toll of half a penny was charged for use of the brick bridge. Toll lifted 1895. In 1899 the bridge was widened from its original width of 9m to 15m.

This bridge was listed Grade II in 1950 with the following description:
'Bridge. Late C18. Coursed squared sandstone. Wide elliptical arch. 4 graduated round openings in each spandrel to high-centred band at road-bed level. Chamfered stone coping, wrought iron lampholders, and 4 domed-topped piers to parapets. Partly in Blaydon parish, Gateshead District.'
A remarkable coursed squared sandstone-built road bridge with single, very wide flat segmental arch whose voussoirs noticeably increase in size from crown to springings. Projecting string course at tangent to crown, carries parapet. Each spandrel pierced four times with diminishing circular holes in the style of Edward's 1756 bridge at Pontypridd. Bridge House of three storeys on east side.

Small elegant sandstone bridge of 2 segmental arches with coped stone pillars to parapets and projecting string course at the parapet base and pointed cutwaters. It eas designed by John Green, probably in the 1830s. It formerly carried the A694 over the River Derwent but a concrete bridge was built alongside in 1967 for this purpose.

Railway station in a modernistic 1930s style with curved flanking entrance bays and a flat roof hidden behind parapets. Metal framed windows with a horizontal emphasis on the glazing bars are also typical of the period. Opened 2nd March 1933. The station opened March 2nd 1933 and has been a Metro station since August 11th 1980. The station was built in an international style with a curved front, white walls, metal windowframes and a flat roof. It was designed by Oliver Hall, who also designed the Grade II* Midland Hotel in Morcambe at around the same
time. Railway expansion was rare in the inter-war years and few new stations were constructed. It is typical 1930s but very rare in the north east.

A map of around 1770 (Watson 24/29) superimposes the underground workings and surface features of the Earl of Carlisle’s Hollywell Reins Colliery in Newbiggin. Approaching from the south-west, the waggonway serving the colliery is shown branching to the dispersed Brunton, Anne, Unity, Liberty and John Pits. A number of other pits and four pumping engines (The west engine, old west engine, the little engine and the great engine) lie in the area. The waggonway took a curving line, on a fairly gentle slope, down to the River Tyne at Lemington. It is shown on a 1767 plan of the Duke of Northumberland’s Newburn Estate (NRO: ZanBellM17/197/A plan 24). The colliery, much equipment and four miles of waggonway were advertised and sold in September 1780 (Turnbull 2009, 129).

The route of the Avenue Branch Line of the Blyth and Tyne Railway (HER ref. 1049) is still clear striking northward from Whitley Bay toward Old Hartley. Laid in 1860, it followed in part the route of the Whitley Wagonway, which opened in 1811 (closed 1850) to carry coal from Whitley Old Pits to North Shields.

Disused since 1977 and now "The Carriage" public house and restaurent this former station on the Blyth and Tyne Railway dates from 1864 and was probably built to the design of J F Tone. A good example of a small suburban station in Tudor style, single storey in red brick with stone dressings, strong cross gable on platform side, stone mullioned windows, octagonal stacks etc. Passenger railway station, now public house. Between 1861 and 1864, possibly to designs,of John Dobson. Brick with sandstone ashlar plinth, quoins and dressings. Welsh slate roof with stone gable copings and kneelers. Tudor style. One storey and attics; 3 bays. Tall gabled centre section has Tudor-arched doorway with double door; stone-mullioned windows of varying sizes in this and in flanking lower gabled bays; stone slits in gable peaks. Steeply-pitched roofs have tall octagonal corniced stone chimneys. Cross-gables to returns. Station was associated with a number of other structures such as the stationmasters house built in 1879, demolished in the 1970s. Of historical interest as being the last surviving station of the Blyth and Tyne railway. Converted to a pub in 1981 with the addition of a 1912 private saloon railway carriage. Platforms survive but signal box is modern. Said to be haunted. Staff and customers have reported that they felt someone behind them waiting to get past, but no one was there. Glasses have apparently been thrown from the bar always landing upright and never breaking. This has been attributed to the death of two passengers on the station platform during a bombing raid in World War Two {Kirkup 2009}.
