Quay walls survive well between the site of the staithes, adjacent to the ironworks managers house and a point immediately south-east of the ironworks (approx. NZ 1847 eastwards to NZ 1866 6447). These walls probably pre-date the construction of a channel across Blaydon Haugh by the Tyne Improvement Commission in the 1850s which created the Gut and led to a waning of industrial development at Lemington (the ironworks already being closed/in decline by this time). The Gut survives as a silted cul-de-sac of the Tyne, preserving the quayside walls alodn with fragmentary remains of staithes and, probably, sunken boats in its silt.

Description
In 1999 photographs were taken of a brick and stone building with pan-tiled roof and recessed north-west corner wall, situated next to the quay walls of Lemington Gut, south of the ironworks site. Its date is uncertain, but it seems to have been part of the ironworks site and may pre-date it. It is shown on a map of 1844 (AP 1999, p.17), on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map and in a truncated form on the 2nd edition of 1899. This enigmatic structure, latterly a stable, was pulled down sometime between 1999 and 2003, but its foundations are likely to survive.

A mature authentic group. Imposing two storey buff brick houses in semi-detached and terraced form. Brickwork is attractively weathered. There are many original windows, doors, bays, window surrounds, door cases, porches, bargeboards. Boundary walls are intact and gardens are rich with trees and shrubs. No. 7 has an intrusive large flat-roofed dormer. No. 1 Station Road (South View) has inaccurate replica windows but a well designed garage extension. Nos. 3 and 4 are later, in red brick and are of a different Edwardian baroque style. They have a low pitched hipped slate roof and original elegant multi-paned sash windows. No. 4 has a large rear extension. There are long gardens to the rear running to a back lane. The west end of Ashleigh Villas is the junction of Station Road, Front Street and Sunderland Road. This is known locally as Black's Corner, named after a former baker's shop.
