Description
Single storey concrete block with some first floor areas. Striking monopitched roofs in copper that now have an attractive patination are the best features of this 1960s/70s school. The original open quadrangle was roofed in with a glazed pyramid strucure to create an IT centre c.1997. The community and sports block opened in 2002. It was the first Trust school in England. In 1985 and 1991 two disused mining shafts gave way forming large holes in the school grounds.

The Duke of Northumberland's Turkish crescent is incorporated into new railings at 1 Front St, as the house was built for his local agent. It is a 2 storey, 4 bay, early c19th building with arched 16 light sash windows. The arched doorway has a Turkish crescent stone plaque. One of the bays is made up of 2 Victorian windows (not original glass). No. 2 is a c18th 3 storey building, whose front elevation was originally its side elevation. The building was re-fronted in the early c19th. No. 3 was probably two dwellings converted into one and is an ornate example of Victorian residential architecture. No. 5 is a two storey, three bay property, with the central bay doorway and window above having Tuscan surrounds. Another interesting property here is no.7, which until the 1860s, was the Star and Garter Inn. It was sometime after this when the bay windows were added. No. 8 is a late c18th building with c19th bay windows added through the 3 storeys of the westerly bay. The building has a stone porch with 2 free-standing Doric columns. Some of these buildings have been divided into flats. There is no 4 Front St.

Fine Victorian Crescent unspoilt apart from modern infill. Crescent facing the sea, with private garden (HER 5252) and entrance lodge. Built in 1860s or 70s. Residents included ship owners, lawyers, accountants, land agents and engineers. Ground plan drawn up in 1868 by the Duke of Northumberland's office. The project did not run smoothly. At least one builder went into liquidation in 1876 and sites 7 to 13 were left unoccupied. The crescent is now divided into flats. In 1868 ground plans were drawn by the Duke of Northumberland's office for the building of terraces on his Tynemouth estate, one of these was the crescent of Percy Gardens overlooking the Short Sands and Tynemouth Priory. The ground plan for Percy Gardens was approved and laid out in the 1860s and construction was still not completed by the end of the 1870s, construction was left to individual owners and builders and the houses were erected in groups of one to four over a number of years. Three residents were recorded in the 1871 Census and many more in the 1886 Census and onwards, including ship owners, lawyers, accountants, land agents and engineers. The residents of the crescent created the gardens because the houses had not been provided with gardens. The park had an elegant simplicity, built in an elliptical shape. The eastern outer edge had a bank to provide shelter from the sea. Paths from the houses follow serpentine routes to a circular path in the centre. In 1872 a gardener's cottage and lodge were added at the southern end.
Now the homes are mostly divided into flats. The site of Priory Court (sites 7 to 13) stood empty due to the bankruptcy of the developer in 1876. They are included in the Register because of the interesting story of how the street developed and they have a quality in their own right.
