Between 1867 and 1869 Roman Catholic services were held in the house of Dr Grinstead at Burnopfield, conducted by Father Patrick Thomas Mathews, a priest from near Leadgate. At the same time a large number of Irish immigrants arrived in the area seeking work in the mines. The Roman Catholic diocese saw a need to found new parishes, churches and schools. In 1867 Father Mathews was commissioned to found a new Catholic parish at Byermoor. This was created by 1869. That same year a temporary wooden church was built, near where the present petrol station now stands. Father Mathews became the first parish priest. In 1871 the building became a school as well. In 1874 land was leased from the Earl of Strathmore, Claude Bowes, for a new permanent church. The new church was designed by Messrs Dunn and Hansom. The foundation stone was laid by the Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle, Bishop Chadwick, on 12th September 1875. The church opened on 8th October 1876. It was dedicated to Saints Patrick, Cuthbert and Mary. The church can seat 400 people. There are 7 stained glass windows in the sanctuary. Four were installed when the church was built, three are later. One is in memory of Father Mathews. It depicts Thomas of Canterbury. Another window shows St. Elizabeth of Hungary and is dedicated to the good work of Miss Elizabeth Surtees of Hamsterly Hall. She was a benfactor of the church. The third memorial window is in memory of the Rev. Canon John Wilson (the second parish priest). It depicts John the Evangelist and Canon Wilson. This window was donated by his sister Jane Wilson. There is a Second World War memorial window at the front of the church. This depicts Martin of Tours. The names of serviceman and women are inscribed. The window is above a memorial tablet dedicated to the war dead of the parish during the First World War. The tablet was erected on 18th December 1919 at a cost of £25. There are three other stained glass windows in the church. The altar is of French caen stone, donated by Miss Blanche Lamb of Gibside Hall. She also gave two statues made in Munich. In July 1915 a brick wall was built around the church using 4700 bricks from Byermoor coke ovens. It cost £8.13. In 1948 the Earl of Strathmore gave the 5 acres of land to the church. The church was consecrated on 9th October 1948 by Bishop McCormick of Hexham & Newcastle. Stone church in early English style/ Semi-circular apse.

Located where the Tanfield Railway crossed Pennyfine Road. Mr Carr was the gatekeeper in the early 1940s. Gatekeepers were employed by the North Eastern Railway Company. On average 66 sets of wagons went through the Pennyfine Road gates each day, on their way down Baker's Bank. In January 1937 two wagons crashed through the gates.

Located where the Tanfield Railway crossed the A6076 (Burdon Plain). A gate keepers lodge is shown on the 1858 Ordnance Survey map. This was probably erected in the 1830s. The lodge was stone with a slate roof. There was a large fireplace inside and a small oven and wooden bench. A window looked out onto the gates. Close by was a well which was used by the gatekeeper until the late 1930s. Harry Askew was the gatekeeper around 1920. Robert Boyd in 1934. The gatekeepers were employed by the North Eastern Railway Company. In 1907 the two locomotives at Bowes Bridge made 21 trips between Sunniside and Tanfield via Peter's Gates. After the First World War traffic on the Tanfield Railway declined. By 1945 it had reduced to about 1/3 of the 1907 figure. In 1957 the gatekeeper only had to open and close the gates four times a day. The engine driver would blow his whistle on approach from Bowes Bridge. On 30th January 1937 three trucks crashed through Peter's Gates. One truck was derailed, the other two crashed through the gates at Pennyfine Road.

Where 'Enwood' now stands (No. 1A The Crescent), there was an institute built by the Marley Hill branch of the National Federation of Discharged and Demobilised Sailors and Soldiers. The land was granted by the Earl of Strathmore. The institute was opened in September 1921 by the Rev. John Arbuckle. It was known locally as 'the hut' or 'Cranney's hut'. It had two billiard tables and held dances and whist drives. In the 1920s membership was about 100 people. In July 1921 the Marley Hill branch of the British Legion was formed. The Marley Hill and Sunniside branches ran the institute. They amalgamated in 1936.

Described by Whellan in 1856 as 'a hamlet, five miles south-west of Newcastle. Here is a chapel-of-ease dedicated to St. Mary'. The village was formed after the Gateshead to Wolsingham turnpike was built after 1797 and after the land of Black Burn Fell was enclosed (the enclosure awards were announced in November 1812). Five men were awarded plots of land which came to form the main road through Sunniside. John, Earl of Strathmore, was allotted land where The Crescent, Sun Hill, The Potter's Wheel, Bowes Close, Sunniside Wood are now located. Sir Thomas Henry Liddell was allotted the land where Burdon Park, Alexandra Park, The allotments and Sunniside Methodist church now stand. Robert Thirlaway was allotted 3 acres where Granby, Thirlaway and Ravensworth Terrace now stand, and what was known as Snow's Field. Martin Brown, a grocer at Old Sunniside, was given the land where the Rising Sun, Larch, Beech and Elm Streets now stand. Luke Brown, also of Old Sunniside, was given the land where Dewhurst Terrace and Elm Street West now stand. The Rising Sun pub was built first, then the chapel, then the hall in 1837. Granby Terrace from 1841 to 1861. Dewhurst Terrace in 1902. New Methodist church, Sun Street, the Travellers Rest, Alexandra Terrace, 1-2 Gateshead Road from 1910 to 1914.

The Watergate Colliery royalty stretched for 2 miles from the Black Burn in Washingwell Wood to Mitcheson's Gill to the south. It included Ravensworth Park. The upper seams were extensively worked in the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1609 Lionel Maddison obtained a lease to work coal at Marshall Lands. He'd acquired land at Marshall Lands and the Paddocks from Richard Hinde. The lease was renewed in 1624 for 15 years. By 1632 there had been 13 pits sunk here and near Fugar Field. A waggonway was laid from Ravensworth Park Farm through Robins Wood to meet up with the Team Colliery waggonway at Tileshed Wood. In 1620 Thomas Liddell worked coal pits in Horsemouth Wood beside the Black Burn. In 1901 Charles Perkins and Partners wanted to mine the coal in Ravensworth Park. An exploratory shaft had been sunk in 1884 in the workshop yard of the castle. David Robson, Teams Colliery viewer, was in charge. Priestman Collieries Ltd took of the leases of Axwell Park, Bagnalls and Whickham Bank Collieries in 1902. In 1923 they sunk Watergate Pit (HER 7000).
