The first pub on the site was the Cross House Inn shown on Ordnance Survey second edition of 1890. There is a presumed stable block on Hetton Road. By 1960 a new reversed C-shaped building had been built, the Burn Hotel. The present building is on another footprint again.

Also known as the Bonnie Pit Lad.

Opened in 1921. Designed by Newcastle architects Percy L Browne and Glover. It was owned by John Lishman and Norman Robinson. The Coliseum could seat 1000 people. It closed on 24 January 1960 and was converted to Shopper's Paradise supermarket. The site is now occupied by Superdrug. Lishman also owned a drapery business on Newbottle Street. He went on to buy the Grand Theatre (HER 15969) in 1930.

Opened in August 1911, next door to the Gaiety Theatre. The building is now Empire House and is occupied by Houghton Carpet Centre and Houghton Dance and Performing Arts Academy. Two storeys, brick.

Opened on 29 July 1909 by Henry Hall and Joseph Ainsley (landlord of Robbie Burns Pub which stood opposite). Demolished in 1929. In 1930 the Grand Theatre was built in its place. The projectionists were Robert Geddes and Furio Riani (whose family owned the ice cream parlour opposite). The Grand was later called the Essoldo and later still the Classic. The cinema closed in March 1975 and was converted into Dee's supermarket. The building is now B & M Bargains.
