The first mention of a brewery being on the site was in 1803, when on the 19th February, the Newcastle Courant advertised for sale, a brewery with malting and adjoining dwelling house all in the possession of Benjamin Brunton, although the building was apparently constructed in 1683 for Michael Turpin of Murton. Turpin's cottage to the west of the brewery, became the first Monkseaton Arms. In 1804, the house and outbuildings were surrendered to Samuel Hurry of North Shields to whom the new Whitley brewery had been surrendered in 1794. In 1814 William Clark, Ann Snowdon and Thomas Hutchinson were listed as common brewers at Monkseaton Brewery, holding the lease for one year. McKenzie reports that the lucrative brewery built a fine range of cottages called Coronation Row in 1821 to house their workers. The cottages were whitewashed with black painted doors and shutters and brick floors. They were demolished in 1936 to make way for the new Black Horse Inn. In 1826 the Brewery and Malting were owned by Thomas Dryden and Co. On 28th November 1826 it was advertised for sale in the Newcastle Courant, described as a lucrative business. The resident partner was William Davison who still lived there in 1849. He was the sole owner by 1855 and he lived in Monkseaton House (HER 5872). He built two reservoirs in his garden to serve the brewery and these were fed by the Cold Well (HER 5869). The brewery was said to be connected to the house by a tunnel. He married a Miss Dryden, and their son Thomas Dryden Davison, carried on the business after his death. The brewery at this time had 30 tied houses which were advertised for let in 1858. In 1912 the owners were Northern Brewery. In 1920 the Trustees of Monkseaton Brewery conveyed the premises to the Northumberland Brewery Co of 21 West Street, Gateshead. In 1934 the brewery and the adjacent Monkseaton Arms were sold. By this time the brewery was no longer in business. In 1938 the brewery and Monkseaton Arms were demolished. The harness room became a pet store, but demolished in the 1960s for a new Lloyds bank, and a new Monkseaton Arms was built on the old site.

Smithy in Earsdon.

Air Shaft, south of Earsdon. Marked Air Shafts on 2nd edition OS mapping, which also shows expansion of spoil heaps around the shafts. This was part of Earsdon Colliery, which was opened in 1826 and closed in 1934. This particular pit opened in 1874.

John Pit (Coal). Precise location/extents unclear on 1st edition OS Mapping. Graphic defines probable maximum extent.

Backworth Station, on the Blyth and Tyne Railway, (HER 1086). Built around 1864 this is the best surviving Blyth & Tyne railway station.

Prospect Hill Station, on the Blyth & Tyne Railway, (SMR 1055). Had sidings and possible reservoir within the station area.

Middle Engine, may be associated with Seatonburn Wagonway but appears, on the 1st edition OS mapping to be too far from the line.

Allotment Engine, with Coal Depot. Worked on Backworth Wagonway, (HER 1113). Probably working by 1821. The Allotment was originally the site of one of the stationary haulage engines which were abandoned in 1867.
