Owned by a Jewish dentist Mr Monty and his wife Anna. A good and unaltered example of a 1930s semi with special features of interest such as stained glass and curved entrance bay. Has been looked after exceptionally well. LOCAL LIST

This building displays distinctive regimental architecture, betraying its origins as a Drill Hall, with exaggerated stepped gables. These are echoed in the eccentric castellation visible in the spirited entrance bay. The building is an asymmetrical composition, with a large double-gable to the north and a small single gable to the south; the variety of window types being an unusual choice. The wings and north elevation have pairs of still intact timber sashes, with large arched windows to the main single storey body, save for the North Bay with its 4 small openings (2 of which are blocked). All windows feature deep brick arches with prominent stone keystones, mimicking the elaborate stone door surround with its carved keystone in the centre. Recessed bays, perhaps inspired by the old Brighton Road schools (whose walls still remain opposite and exhibit the same characteristic) create a satisfying rhythm. Ball finials adorning the gables, a jovial finial to the roof, dentil courses and slit vents animate the architecture. The secondary doorway is itself well-featured, with an attractive carved stone canopy on scrolled brackets. The cast iron rainwater goods are still in position. The signage is rather unsympathetic, but not sufficiently profuse to spoil the overall appearance. The building is a quirky and distinctive local example of military architecture, and makes a lively contribution to the street scene. MATERIALS Red brick, stone, slate, timber ARCHITECT Watson & Curry (Newcastle) DATES 1899 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The building was constructed for Colonel Angus, and was generally known as the Angus Hall.

Single storey range of buildings forming a Community Centre. An orange-red brick plinth extends around the building to different heights. There are stone dressings to mock buttresses, porches, windows and chimneys, and the walls above the brick plinth are pebble dashed. The roof is original and of Welsh slate with clay ridge tiles but the rainwater goods are new. The original windows are still in place and are of a variety of styles – including 6 over 6 sashes, double 4s over double 6s casements, and a substantial Venetian window to the main gable of the largest building. The smaller building has brick chimneys to each gable and a brick porch: the larger a stone porch on a brick plinth and 2 turret vents to the ridge. Barge boards, roof hatches and doors are painted azure. A Bowling Green is attached. MATERIALS Brick, sandstone, pebble dash, timber ARCHITECT William Dixon & Sons DATES 1925 (plans 1924) STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The building is of an unusual shape which was perhaps intended to appear as if it was built in several phases to add interest. Their visual attraction, therefore, lies in the variety both of materials and of design details which together create a harmonious whole. The venetian window to the hall is of particular interest, and the fact that so many original features remain (for example the sash windows). In addition, they have served the villagers of Greenside as a meeting place and activity space for 80 years (originally as the Welfare Institute) – cementing their key role as a focal point for the village. The architect also designed the Co-op in Crawcrook. LOCAL LIST

This remarkable pair of semi-detached houses, set amongst a sea of relatively ordinary suburban semis, stand out from the crowd. They echo the progressive nature of the flat-roofed properties on Egremont Drive, but adding a smooth, streamlined refinement reminiscent of the luxury ocean liners of the period. The curves, horizontally expressed fenestration and white painted render add to this impression. This is perhaps not coincidental, as the interior of number 34 has been fitted timber panelling from a ship, and all the other internal features are still extant – even the period furniture seems to date from the origins of the house. Number 34 also retains its simple metal casements (although those at 32 have been lost to plastic), and the ladders to the roof also mirror those at Egremont. The builder of the house lived in it in the early years, adding to the historic interest of the property. There was an interconnecting doorway between the 2 properties, as his brother lived in number 32 next door, but this has since been blocked up. The houses are set in attractive and substantial gardens, which provide a lush setting befitting their architectural character.

A converted farm complex hidden behind a high stone wall. South Grange is a large 2 storey house built of sandstone ashlar. It has a Welsh slate roof with stone chimneys. A stone porch with moulded parapet sits in the angle of the building, with a deeply inset chamfered doorway to the corner. There are sash windows in place set between stone lintels and sills (some single pane, some 2 over 2) but these are unlikely to be original. An ornate rainwater hopper and cast iron gutters are supported in part by stone. To the principal entrance are large early to mid 19th century dressed stone gate piers with moulded capstones and decorative wrought iron gates. Dates to 1875 LOCAL LIST

This charming, dual-winged hall was once the Parish School of Lamesley, designed very sympathetically to harmonise with the strong architectural style of the village. The characteristic local sandstone, dressed and laid in courses, accompanied by an unusual, ‘jigsaw’ shaped version of the curved kneelers seen on many village buildings, make it clearly identifiable as Ravensworth Estate architecture of the 19th century. . It is most humane in scale, befitting the original users of the building, and the leaded lights with chamfered stone mullions surrounds give it an ecclesiastical feel, associating it visually with the church. The substantial chimneys and small bell turret provide vertical animation, and the comparative size of the visible roof planes make the wonderfully varied purples, blues and greys in the slate an important feature of the whole. Even the entrance leads in gently, up shallow steps and through curved walls under a wrought iron arch originally holding a lantern. The building was successfully extended to the rear with assistance from a Heritage Lottery Fund grant in the 1990s.

St George's House, HCS House, South Bank Building and Central Admin. Block and Antec House. The group of buildings has considerable architectural interest for the quality of their design, and as the centrepiece for the planned landscape. The vast size has an impressive visual impact, and despite being largely of 2 storeys, they appear low due to their streamlined design. This incorporates bands of metal windows with mullions interspersed so as to ensure that the strong horizontal emphasis is bolstered. The curvaceous shape adds considerable interest, and is distinctive both from an adjacent perspective and in terms of the plan form. The stretcher-bonded brown brick dominates the spectrum of the buildings, but this is relieved by a vertical stretcher course of black brick to the base, and painted concrete cills and lintels. Despite the functionalist nature of the design, some concessions are made to ornament, with stone facing to panels surrounding the doors, and raised circular mouldings to the principal door panels themselves. A bronze spread eagle adorns the centre of the building beneath a large clock, Their historic interest lies in the fact that they are part of an important early industrial estate.

The factories on the Team Valley were designed to be ‘straight-line’ in character, and were constructed of standard cement-brick on light steel frames, with flat, clerestorey roofs, and additional light provided by plentiful side windows. This building is one of the original larger factories designed for the TVTE and the one that seems best preserved in terms of its design and appearance. Although visually modest it represents an important phase in the industrial and social history of the region as well as in functional architecture. This building is of buff brick, with a higher 2 storey central section and 2 lower flanking wings. The metal windows, characteristic of the industrial architecture of the time, are still present in places, although the central portion unfortunately sports plastic replacements. A large yellow sign has been introduced, the line of which has been continued with a broad band of bright yellow paint, which interferes somewhat with the basic, utilitarian design.

This elegant and unusual terrace of 8 Tyneside flats was built in 1936 for the Masters and Brethren of King James Hospital, a nearby beneficent establishment caring for older people. It was built on the site of a previous King James Street, built around the 1830s in all probability to take advantage of the views to the north, which would have been afforded at the time. The plot layout was retained, with buildings solely along the south side of the street enjoying small garden plots to the front, and until recently some stone gate piers which may have been inherited from this time stood at the entrance to the street. The chief appeal of these buildings is their double-height timber square bay windows, with their unusual pattern of glazing bars: a very distinctive feature in the area, which allows for a great deal of internal light. The 6-panel timber front doors, however, are also handsome, elevated as they are, in status by their classically inspired timber doorcases, and in height, in Piano Nobile style, above stone staircases. The diamond fanlight is particularly individual. They have recently undergone extensive renovation, and whilst the loss of the original gate piers and front gardens is regrettable, the key features have been retained and refurbished, and the buildings should be secured for the foreseeable future. MATERIALS Brown brick, render, timber, tiles ARCHITECT Wood & Oakley (9 Eldon Square, Newcastle) DATES 1936 (plans) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The development seems to have been experimental in its use of drainage, as the Borough surveyor agrees to the use of Vitroflex soil pipes only subject to certain conditions!
