The building is first shown on the 1916 OS plan. The exact construction date and name of architect are unknown. The building has seen little change from its original layout as a large residential property, with the majority of later changes from its use by the University being superficial. A number of original features survive in good condition noteably in the entrance lobby and larger rooms on the ground floor. Architectually the building is a good example of the arts and crafts movement. The building is a rare survival in Newcastle.

Description
A Roman agricultural enclosure and associated metalled holloway discovered during excavations ahead of the construction of the new Trinity Academy on Condercum Road. The earliest phase of Roman feature identified was a broad, shallow feature running downslope, this was interpreted as a holloway – a sunken trackway eroded by traffic and rainwater. The northern extent of this had apparently been truncated by a substantial ditch representing the southeastern
corner of an enclosure. A metalled surface had subsequently been laid in the base of
the holloway, this possibly contemporary with the enclosure ditch. Within the enclosure were a possible timber slot, a possible infant burial and a shallow pit. Dating evidence suggests that the enclosure was laid out and occupied during the 2nd century AD, although a single sherd pottery recovered from the metalled surface of the holloway indicates that usage possibly continued into the 3rd century. Three linear features recorded on a similar NNESSW alignment to that of the holloway were also of probable 2nd to 3rd century date. The ditch and holloway were then infilled and the enclosure was re-established on a slightly different alignment during the 2nd-3rd century. The site was later used in the medieval period for agricultural purposes.

Wideopen
Description
A colliery building was identified during mitigation excavation south of East Wideopen farm in 2015. The building was broadly aligned north-west south-east and measured 8.8m in length by 7.6m wide. It was part of Wideopen Colliery (opened in 1825) and appears to be a winding engine house, which would have operated the headgear used for raising and lowering coal, men and supplies. The building was previously unknown, and was not visible on the geophysical survey
carried out by Tyne and Wear Museums in 2012. The building appears to be shown on the tithe map of 1842 (NRO Dt483) but does not appear on the First Edition Ordnance Survey mapping of 1858, suggesting it is out of use by this point. There was no evidence the building ever had a stone or brick floor, and presumably the interior may originally have accommodated a slightly raised timber floor, above the clay natural. The interior of the walls of the northeastern cell, and the clay natural, were blackened, presumably as a result of exposure to smoke and coal dust from the boiler.

Description
The North Dock Tufa is a 4 x 4m dome-shaped structure of petrified calcareous material. It is accessed through the Marine Activities Centre. The tufa was found behind some old huts in 1992, when the Tyne and Wear Development Corporation were developing the marina. Tufa is a geological term for deposits of calcium carbonate. The water which flows through the tufa contains dissolved calcite. Over several decades the tufa developed as the calcite water covered roots and grasses to form stalactites and stalagmites. The wall to which the tufa is attached is part of North Dock, which opened in 1837, so the tufa is no earlier than that. The source of the water is unknown. It may originate from Fulwell Quarries. The water may be channelled through a buried valley or by the original dock railway (HER 2708) route. The Marine Activities Centre, which was built in 1993, was modified to preserve the tufa. A concrete foundation and supports hold up the tufa and steel rods prevent it from coming away from the wall. In 1995 the North Dock tufa was designated as a Regionally Important Geological Site (now a Local Geological Site). It is an outstanding example of its kind. It is still growing and becoming heavier each year.
