A stone corbel, 12 inches long, 8 inches high and 5 inches wide, with a "rude face", was found in one of the cellars of the Bricklayers Arms in Castle Garth. It was donated to the Society of Antiquaries by Mr C. Smith of the Moot Hall in 1907.

During excavations in Castle Garth, for the railway extensions in around 1895, four boar's tusks were found.

When the well in the Castle Keep was being pumped out on 16 September 1920, many objects were retrieved including over 1200 coins, a large number of heavy stones, many dozens of bricks, many fine pieces of Jacobean carved oak, and major portions of a round bellied stone ware jug covered with brown glaze, 9 inches in height, a type known as "Greybeards" or Bellarmines.

In 1823 whilst the tower was being altered by the Weaver's Company, workmen were clearing away the accumulated earth over the ditch outside the tower. They apparently found several skeletons huddled together and in the skull of one of them was a cannon ball. A 24 pound cannon ball was also found lodged 2.5 footdeep in the wall. Caution - the report is second hand with no source given, but the circumstantial evidence implies Civil War victims.

Gray described the cross as having columns of hewn stone, covered with lead. On the top of cross was a cistern which held the New-Water. Milk, eggs, cheese and butter were sold here. The street in which the cross was situated was also called Cale Cross, so called because cale or broth was sold there. It is named in documents dating to the reigns of Edward III (1327-77) and Richard II (1377-99) - the account of St. Margaret's Chantry in the Church of St. Nicholas.

According to Bourne, the pant standing near the shop of a Mr Robert Makepiece was called All-Hallow-Pant. It was on the other side of the road to the Cale Cross.

Below Carliol Croft was a place traditionally called Alvey's Island, so called because when the tide flowed up to the Stockbridge it created a hill of sand which looked like an island when the tide went out. The land belonged to someone called Alvey. A Mr. George Hinkster had a house, cellars and maltings on this land, bounded on the west, north and south by King's Street and on the east by a piece of waste ground formerly called the Stones, owned by a Lady Goldsburgh.

The Charity School of the Parish of All Hallows was built in 1723 along with a house for the master to live in.

In 1794 the Cordwainers Company built their stone-fronted hall on the north side of High Bridge.

Built in 1766 for the Rev. James Murray, an independent preacher. In 1785 it was admitted into the Presbyterian Church. The chapel could seat 604 people. On 28 May 1881 the Newcastle Courant reported that workmen employed by Mr J. Stevenson in removing an old building near the soup kitchen in the High Bridge, discovered the remains of two groined arches and several parts of a richly ornamented gothic window. They were supposed to have formed part of a chapel [presumably the High Bridge Chapel?]. Thomas Oliver (1844) reported that in 1786 the church was united with the Church of Scotland Presbytery. The chapel measured 39 feet 2 inches x 43 feet 7 inches. The entrance door lead to two staircases of 20 steps to the gallery. The pulpit on the north wall was elevated on 10 steps and the clerk's desk on 7 steps. The gallery was supported by five columns. Total sittings 585. The vestry was at the west door.
