Owned by the Newcastle Warehousing Co. Ltd. In fair condition. This is a complex of buildings of different periods. The earliest buildings are those facing Milk Market and the Quayside, which were built between 1801 and 1830. The other buildings are comparatively modern. The elevation to Milk Market is particularly fine, being a symmetrical composition, seven storeys high and thirteen bays long. It has a simple eaves gutter, the parapets to the north and south walls have stone copings, and the roof is covered with corrugated asbestos. The ground floor is of ashlar, the windows have been blocked, but the segmental arched door at the south end is open. Above this the remaining six storeys are brick, with 41/2 inch brick segmental arched headed windows with stone cills. The window openings are almost square, except for those on the first floor which are vertical, all contain timber frames with central mullions. The loading doors are placed symmetrically in the fourth bay from either end are taken up one storey in the form of pedimented gables to give access to the roof space. The original loading door openings have been partially bricked up to form horizontal windows. The building facing on to the Quayside is six storeys high with an irregular plan. It is built of brick rising from an ashlar plinth. The original roof has been removed and replaced by a flat roof. All the windows have 41/2 inch brick segmental arched heads and stone cills. The openings contain timber frames with a central mullion. The west elevation to Love Lane is of four bays, the second from the south containing the loading doors. The south elevation to the Quayside is of seven bays and the east elevation is of four bays all the openings of which have been blocked. The remaining west and north elevations to Love Lane and Forster Street, consist of a variety of buildings all built subsequent to 1859. The most spectacular section of these elevations is the curved section, which closes the view east down Pandon. This section is seven bays long with three storeys. The openings have double 41/2 inch brick segmental arched heads and contain four pane vertical sliding sash windows. The roof is covered with felt and a substantial round brick chimney rises through the ridge at its northern end {1}. Warehouse. Circa 1830 and later.

Owned and used for storage by Steenberg and Son Ltd. Built between 1801 and 1830 and was in fair condition. The larger southerly warehouse consists of two buildings, the eastern part being five storeys high with two corner towers, while the western building is three storeys high. The eastern building is of brick standing on an ashlar plinth which owing to the steep fall in ground level becomes a full storey height on the south elevation, facing Pandon. There is a fine moulded stone cornice at eaves level and the roof is covered with corrugated asbestos. The windows are almost square having 41/2 inch brick segmental arched heads and stone cills. They contain wooden frames with a central mullion. The south elevation is nine bays long plus the tower at the south-east corner. The ashlar basement is pierced by two, three centred arched doors. The fourth bay from the west appears to have either had, or intended to have had loading doors, but the blocking brickwork and windows are contemporary with the rest of the building. The north elevation is eight bays long with loading doors in the fifth bay from the east which is taken up one storey as a pedimented gable to give access to the roof space. The east gable is of three bays, the south bay containing loading doors. The western building is built of brick with a slate roof and a simple eaves gutter. The south elevation to Pandon is five bays long, the westernmost bay containing the loading doors. The windows are similar to those in the eastern building. The centre bay on the ground floor contains a doorway {1} Warehouse, 1827 for Ralph Atkinson. English garden wall bond brick with painted ashlar basement and ashlar dressings. Asbestos roof.

The upper floors are lit by a canted bay over the carriage entrance and by a single window. The building is at present occupied by James Walker and Co. Ltd, and is in good condition {1}.

Joseph Webb, a Birmingham man, invented a sewer lamp in the 1890s, primarily to destroy sewer smells and germs. Contrary to popular belief, however, these lamps do not burn sewer gas, but ordinary town gas. The updraught created by the flame's heat conducts the sewer gases up through the hollow column and over the three or four lighted mantles, where they are purified before being released into the atmosphere. According to Mr. Gerald Withers, Norgas, most of these lamps came into use in the north-east between 1900 and 1910 {1}. The lamp which used methane gas from the sewers {2} was gradually replaced by more appealing forms of street lighting. The lamps are all similar in appearance, having undergone various alterations over the decade, and are now in varying degrees of repair {3}.
This lamp was listed Grade II in 2012 with the following description:
History
This lamp is one of 17 Sewer Gas Lamp standards erected in the Whitley Bay and Monkseaton areas between 1900 and 1910 of which 10 survive.
Details
Sewer gas lamp, early C20.
The standard is of fluted cast iron with a curved glass lantern; the lantern is supported by four ornamental brackets and it has a high valve to the domed canopy; there is a ladder rest at the top, which also supports the hinged top of the hood when open for cleaning or maintenance. The lamp has a cast-iron base plate reading: 'J.E.WEBBS PATENT SEWER GAS DESTRUCTOR' and 'WEBB LAMP Co. LIMITED BIRMINGHAM'. The lantern head bears the name 'SUGG'.

Paint analysis in 2015 revealed that the lowest paint layer on the base, and possibly the original colour, was a dark green. It is possible that the post was painted a different colour to the base as the lowest colour was pinkish red (may have been an iron oxide protective coating).
