This sandstone wall built as part of the original Longbenton National School in 1871. It was extended in 1889. The stretch of wall in front of the school (eastern end) has stone coping and gate piers to a pedestrian gate. The next stretch is lower and spaced between seven piers that support metal railings. The westernmost stretch of wall is tall again like the other end, with a pair of piers marking the location of another pedestrian gate. There is a vehicle gate at the very end at a 45 degree angle to the road. The wall turns at this point and runs to the back of the school plot to meet another stone wall.

Two underground air raid shelters were built in the Market Place during the Second World War. Their precise location is not known, but they are thought to lie east of the town hall. South Shields suffered numerous Luftwaffe bombing raids during the war. The Market Place was directly hit on 2nd October 1941. Many buildings were entirely destroyed. A direct hit on Dunn's Paint Store propelled tins of paint and oil across to other properties, causing more damage. The air raid shelters were hit. 68 people were killed, 117 seriously injured, 91 slightly injured and 2000 made homeless. 240 shops, houses and offices were destroyed or had to be demolished later. The Old Town Hall and the Church of St. Hilda suffered minor damage, but the rest of the Market Place was destroyed or seriously damaged.

Cave noted on the First Edition Ordnance Survey Plan 1858 and mentioned in Parson and White's trade directory of 1828. The entry in the directory is as follows: Opposite to this hall [Goldspink Hall] and just within the walls of the Heaton Plantations is Robin Sheeps Cave. A cold and solitary excavation in which tradition says Robin, a poor mendicant, lived for some years. This description is almost identical to the entry in Mackenzie's History of Northumberland, 1825, Vol 2.
