The two buildings were recorded by TWM Archaeology in 2011. Building A (northernmost) is constructed from a mix of yellow and red brick with a gabled roof covered in corrugated metal sheets. It measures 61.8m by 8.33m. Beneath the roof line is a decorative brick string line spanning the length of the building. Internally there is one large open space with the roof supported by classic king post trusses. Building B (southernmost) is constructed in the same style and from the same material as A.There are three portions to this building - the main section contains fourteen bays. The main portion measures 60m by 5.43m. The inside of the main portion of the main portion has been split into two halves using breeze blocks.

Oxford House was used as an auxiliary hospital during the First World War by the Joint War Committee (British Red Cross and the Order of St John of Jerusalem). The committee was ordered to raise and organise Voluntary Aid Detachments (VADs) trained in First Aid and Nursing. The nurses were a mixture of qualified nurses and volunteers (mostly middle-class women). Many hospitals were set up in large houses on loan to the Red Cross during the war. VAD hospitals received the sum of 3 shillings per day per patient from the War Office. Oxford House was run by the 7th Northumberland VA Hospital Unit. Honours for service to this hospital were received by Mrs Mary Eltringham - Royal Red Cross 2nd Class.

Description
Originally a Mission Church consecrated on 10th July 1901. St Gabriel's became a parish in its own right in 1904, and its growth was so rapid that very soon a fund was instituted for the building of a larger structure more in keeping with the needs of a parish of 10,000 souls. With the opening of the new church (situated adjacent), the Mission Church building became the church hall, a role it still fulfils to this day. The Hall known as St. Gabriel's Institute used as an auxiliary hospital during the First World War by the Joint War Committee (British Red Cross and the Order of St John of Jerusalem). The committee was ordered to raise and organise Voluntary Aid Detachments (VADs) trained in First Aid and Nursing. The nurses were a mixture of qualified nurses and volunteers (mostly middle-class women). The Institute was run by the 20th Durham VA Hospital Unit. The church hall has a plaque to recognise its use as a VAD Hospital 'EUROPEAN WAR 1914-1918 THIS HALL WAS USED AS A WAR HOSPITAL MAY 24TH 1915-DECEMBER 31ST 1918. 1044 MEN RECEIVED TREATMENT'. Honours for service to this hospital were received by Mrs Margaret Shield (Matron) - Royal Red Cross 2nd Class.

In 1916 a letter from the War Office was received which congratulated the management on running the hospital with such success at a cost of just over 10/~ per head per week, as compared with the nationwide average of 15/~. In 1917 the accommodation was increased with temporary iron buildings.

Description
Sunderland's oldest community theatre established in 1925 in the Union Congregational Church (HER 13731) which was expanded into the attached three houses down the street. The Green Room Bar opened on October 5th 1973 and a The Studio Theatre was added in 1985. In 1994 it was officially known as The Royalty Theatre. The building is spread across 2 floors and has a 250 seat auditorium, bar, foyer, small theatre and upstairs houses a rehearsal room. Some original features of the church can be seen especially in the auditorium where looking up you can still see the high acres and beams from the original church. The church building was used as an auxiliary hospital during the First World War by the Joint War Committee (British Red Cross and the Order of St John of Jerusalem). The committee was ordered to raise and organise Voluntary Aid Detachments (VADs) trained in First Aid and Nursing. The nurses were a mixture of qualified nurses and volunteers (mostly middle-class women). VAD hospitals received the sum of 3 shillings per day per patient from the War Office. The theatre was known as the Social Centre, it was run by the 11th Durham VA Hospital Unit. Mrs Elizabeth Rogers received the Royal Red Cross 2nd Class honour for service to this hospital. During the second a bomb fell outside only to bounce over the building before exploding, leaving the building untouched. The drama Club had used The Royalty on and off since its beginnings and in 1969 bought it outright and has been showcasing its productions every season since.
