Description
Church hall used as 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 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. Jeffrey Hall was run by the 4th Durham VA Hospital Unit. Honours for service to this hospital were received by: Miss connie Ballingall (Lady Superintendent & Matron) - Royal Red Cross 2nd Class and Miss Margaret Cuthbertson (Sister) - Royal Red Cross 2nd Class. Now demolished.

Description
Canvas manufactory shown on the first Edition Ordance Survey Plan, 1858 (not shown on 1850 map). Brick walls and the remains of a sandstone building (part of the canvas works) were excavated during a watching brief on the site in 2011. A sandstone block plith was found in an area marked 'engine' on the 1858 map. It may have been a support or base for a piece of machinery. The canvas works appears to have been independent of the businesses that surrounded it. It had a western and a northern boundary wall that enclosed a yard but also separated it from the Ellison Glass Works.

Description
Stone tramway similar to that on Hanover Street in Newcastle. The tramway is laid with large baulks of stone to provide a smooth surface for horse-drawn carts. This arrangement was once common in cobbled streets or on steep hills. The granite blocks provided a smoother surface for the wheels of the carts whilst the traditional setts between the lines allowed better grip for the horses hooves. This system was only provided for traffic travellin up slope. The idea is thought to have been first used in northern Italy and introduced into this country in the early 19th century. A stone retaining wall runs parallel to the tramway, on its eastern side.
SITEASS
A new road, footway and retaining wall were proposed along this route in 2010. Advised that the tramway should be left in-situ and the road built alongside it. Alternatively the tramway should be recorded before being covered over. Levels should be built up so that the tramway is preserved under the new road.

Description
Waggonway shown on 1949 aerial photograph as a broad linear soil mark. The feature appeared consistent with a spread and ploughed-out bank of an old wagonway. The feature was identified and confirmed during an archaeological evaluation in 2011. It is believed to have connected the Beanypit shaft (Wallsend Colliery F Pit) which opened in 1797 and perhaps connected to Wallsend C Pit wagonway to the west of Wallsend village.

The feature was identified and confirmed during an archaeological evaluation in 2011. The trackbed seems to have consisted of a mound of coal dust and other waste material laid on a prepared surface. It is believed to have connected the Beanypit shaft (Wallsend Colliery F Pit) which opened in 1797 and perhaps connected to Wallsend C Pit wagonway to the west of Wallsend village.

Description
RC St Lawrence Church and attached church hall. Church of c.1895, architect not known. St Lawrence's RC Church of roughly dressed sandstone, slate roof. Four and a half bays, with broad entrance front facing compass east having corner spirelet. Lancet windows and arcade under broad hoods. Heavily dentiled eaves cornice to side. Entrance between inset half columns and roll mouldings under pointed hood, with cross, as there is to gable end. Rear vestry with little buttresses. Interior not inspected. The retention of the old public buildings, including churches, was a key feature of Erskine's concept for Byker, but St Lawrence's, being built into the wall, demonstrates this concept exceptionally and forms a strong group and visual contrast. Community rooms to side entered from Byker Crescent, with red timber pergola denoting entrance and giving striking accent to church, and stepped blue metal roofs incorporating dormers within red timber eaves. The interiors of the community rooms (inspected) are not of special interest. Listed grade 2* as part of 1-12, WITH ATTACHED WALLS, FENCES AND PERGOLAS, FELTON HOUSE,
