In May 1986 part of a clinker built boat was discovered protruding from the peat about 25ft from the original edge of the drained lake in Gosforth Park. The entire length was preserved. It was constructed of larch with mahogany ribs and top strake. The very light construction and double-ended shape indicated that it possibly started out as a gun-punt and was later fitted out for pleasure sailing. Traces of paint were analysed and found to be lead-based carbon black on white lead. Such paint was in common use from the seventeenth century onwards. Although generally resembling rowed leisure skiffs of the late Victorian period the excavated boat was unusual in being double-ended (ie with pointed bow and stern) rather than having a typical wineglass-shaped square transom. Construction was of characteristic British small-boat type. The identification of larch as the main planking timber was unexpected since it is prone to deterioration in freshwater. The mahogany top strakes gave indication of a boat intended for pleasure rather than working purposes. The boat's overall design and construction suggest a vessel of good quality construction dating from the late Victorian or early Edwardian period, intended for use under oars for lacustrine fishing or wildfowling. There was a later comparatively crude conversion for leisure sailing. The hull fabric suggests eventual disuse through deliberate damage rather than decay {1}.

Well discovered to the rear of 25b Broad Chare. 1.16m in diameter and 6.5m deep. The culvert immediately to the east of the well has a stone east side and brick west side. Heavy stone slabs covered the drain and there were stone flags at its base. The drain probably originally ran down the centre of what was Rewcastle Chare. No dating evidence was recovered.

First World War command post for former gun turret at Marsden. Badly built at end of WW1. Battery site fully quarried away.

Pillbox now used as viewing platform. Could be same site as SMR 1786.

Pillbox - could be same site as SMR 1793 with a slightly different NGR.

This site was added to the Gateshead local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'Large rectangular pillbox with two wide embrasures for machine guns on the west side and a low door on the north. Intended to cover the flat area by the River Tyne in case of German parachute or glider landings.'
NB original grid ref NZ222624, and descriptions read 'still extant at edge of railway line - last of several which used to start at arch of railway' and 'Historic Ordnance Survey Map evidence show a pillbox of Second World War origin at this location'.

Pillbox.

Pillbox or possible warden's post.

Military supply depot related to anti-aircraft ordnance - there were two supply depots for the Tyne and Wear area, this one served Sunderland. It still exists. Includes five magazines each 21m x 10m surrounded by earthworks of blast walls, a gun store 50m to the north and smaller related features. The depot was still in use in 1947 employing 12 men.
Considered for listing by HE in 2020 - not listed.

Anti-Aircraft Ordnance Depot No 75 was built as a facility for servicing anti-aircraft batteries defending the area north of the River Tyne. Another one exists for south of the Tyne (HER 1829). It was built c.1938 and is one of a small number of known Emergency Equipment Ammunition Magazines (EEAM) constructed throughout the UK in anticipation of war. It had a dual function - to act as the primary local supply depot for ammunition used by anti-aircraft facilities in the area and to act as a centre for storage and maintenance of vehicles and armaments required by the batteries. The complex was split into three - an ammunition storage zone, vehicle/arms storage zone and accommodation, welfare and administration zone. Subsequent to the war the complex served as a depot for vehicle maintenance by the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) until 1976. Between 1979 and the mid 1990s the complex was used as a central store for the Area Health Authority. Many buildings were demolished or altered at this time. Since the mid 1990s the buildings have been out of use and falling into disrepair. The complex was recorded in 2014 by NAA ahead of proposed redevelopment of the site. The survey found that the extent of the original depot is poor. Fourteen buildings remain (from 34) in a poor condition. The significance of the site is in the complex as a whole. Extant buildings in 2014 included: Caretaker's house, storage buildings, boiler house, warehouse, offices and ammunition bunkers. Further recording took place by NAA in 2016.
