Aerial photographs of Drewhett's Park in Jarrow show a parch mark which appears to represent a curvilinear, ovate banked enclosure, 30 metres long and 20 metres wide with no obvious entrances. The oval terminates into a linear bank to the west that extends some 20 metres before being lost in the park path. Geophysical survey suggested that the edge of the feature is stone or concrete. The lack of internal features and the association of the terminal line with the path suggests that this is not a feature of antiquity. Elderly local residents recall that there was a barrage balloon emplacement and winch here during the Second World War, used to protect the River Tyne from enemy bombing. The enclosure is therefore assumed to be connected with the balloon, perhaps protecting it when it was inactive.

During excavations for the North Eastern Railway extension at Bailiffgate, several objects were found. They included the lower portion of a handmill, fragments of medieval and later pottery, a sword blade, snuff spoon, horn cores of animals and part of the skull of the "Bos longifrons". The bones were discovered at a depth of about 6 feet below ground level at the west end of the Baileygate. There were 11 fragments of skulls and cores of horns. Two of these were parts of the skulls of the "Bos taurus Scoticus". The bigger is a portion of the right side frontal and occipital with the horn core about adult size. The other came from a younger speciment of the same breed. The curve of the horn cores is the same as that of the Chillingham cattle. The other bones and horn cores belonged to the caprae or goats of different sizes and ages. One is a considerable portion of the skull of a small goat with the horn cores.

The Side, Anglo-Saxon bead
Fragment of C7 Anglo-Saxon bead, in good condition, some slight dull whitish weathering. Col. Spain, who had charge of the exhibit, described it as of vitreous red brown paste with yellow paste designs. ½ inch x ¾ inch x 5/8 inch x 3/8 inch. Found in 1929 during excavations by NEEC at the top of Dog Leap Stairs.

Pilgrim Street, Gilpin’s Yard, dedication stone
Carving of arms in stone, of Nathaniel Lord Crewe, Bishop of Durham. One of two sculptured panels from Gilpin’s Yard, Pilgrim Street. They were originally from the old ruined Tyne bridge (from the tower with the portcullis at south end of Old Tyne Bridge ), and built into alderman Hornby’s garden wall. The property passed to Mr Anthony Clapham, who removed the stones from the garden wall and placed the bishop’s arms over his soap factory office door.
