Birk Heads named on the First Edition Ordnance Survey plan 1855. Two smaller buildings are shown in the same location on the 1847 Tithe Plan named as Birkland Head Farm rented by lessees of Marley Hill Colliery. Gone by 1967.

Row of cottages on Birkheads Lane shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey Plan, 1855 (built between 1847-1955). Named Birkhead Cottages on the 1967 National Grid Plan.

Large air raid shelter (Covered Trench Shelter design) consisting of four rectangular blocks of corridor that extended over an area of 66.8m in length by 18.5m wide and was constructed using precast concrete panels following a plan known as the covered trench design. The shelter served St Joseph's RC School and the local community. Each block of corridors were interconnected and accessed by three entrances (one located between each block). The four blocks each measured a standard size of 11m x 18.6m. The layout of each block was generally standardised with three alcoves at each block that houses a chemical toilet. Blast walls were installed throughout the length of the shelter. The shelter was fully excavated in 2011 ahead of the redevelopment of the site (following geophysical survey and a preliminary evaluation). The western side was particularly well preserved and with the exclusion of the roof survived to its full height. The eastern portion had been heavily disturbed. No evidence of internal fixtures and fittings were found.

Obelisk to commemorate 222 cholera victims who died during an outbreak which lasted from December 1821 until November 1823. A watching brief in 2011 was undertaken while a new foundation pad for the obelisk was put in place.

Graveyard to former St. Edmund's Church (HER 16522). Last version of the church was built in 1811 but there has been a religious building on the site since the medieval period. The age/extent of the original churchyard is unknown.

The earliest reference to a St. Edmund's Church is in 1315 but it was probably founded in the 13th century. In 1535 it owned 80 acres of land and a close at Shotley Bridge. Since it was not dependent on a religious house it survived the Dissolution and was refounded in 1611 as the Hospital of St James. In 1810 a new chapel (in 1865 to become St Edmund's Church) was built to the south of the old one along with 3 cottages. St. Edmund's Church was demolished in the 1960s and today the only evidence for its existence is a plaque in the wall of a house on the site.

Constructed as farm workers' accommodation in the middle of 19th century. It is shown on the edge of the brick field (HER5766) on the 1855 Ordnance Survey plan. For a time, the cottage was used as a Post House with an extension at the front serving as the post office and the original structure as accommodation for the postmaster. It has been used as a private domestic dwelling for the past two decades. The building was recorded in 2011 prior to redevelopment. It was noted that all the original fixtures and fittings had been altered/replaced. No evidence for an earlier building on the site were noted during investigations in 2011.

The site has been developed since at least the early 19th century but the first reference of the building as the Lindsay Arms PH is on the first edition ordnance survey plan 1858. The building was enclosed by other buildings on the northern and eastern sides - these were later demolished and replaced by more modern structures of John Lilley and Gillie Ltd. The frontage of the buildings has undergone significant alteration compared to the little alteration at the gable ends. Internally significant alteration has occurred with the change of use from a public house to part of the larger Lilley and Gillie complex. The cellar was infilled with concrete in the 1960s. The first and second floors do contain some original features such as fireplaces, skirting boards, dado rails etc.

Small building in garden area shown on the 1839 Tithe Plan of Hetton. A much more substantial structure is shown on the 1856 First Edition Ordnance Survey plan labelled Lane House.

Croudace's House shown on Tithe Plan as house and garden. The name Croudace first appears on the first edition ordnance survey plan, 1856.
