An egg-shaped bowl and a handle (nearly 6 inches long) with circular ornamentation were found in one of the piers of the Old Tyne Bridge.

Opposite to St Bartholomew's on the west side of Newgate Street, there was an ancient building with a large gate - a piece of stately workmanship. This was, according to Robert Shaftoe, recorder of the town, the House of the Earls of Northumberland, and was called the Earls Inn. Grey says it was called the Scotch Inn, because it was there that the Kings Nobility and Lards of Scotland lodged in the time of truce or league with England [there is a confusion here between the inn in Newgate Street and an inn in Middle Street (HER 6596) called Scot's Inn].

Shown on Hutton's plan of 1770. It appears to have been associated with a small structure on the east side and to have had access from both Northumberland Street and Percy Street.

Built in 1691 on the site of an earlier mansion house. Cost £6000. Brick turreted building with sash windows. The Mansion House was the official residence of the Mayor during his year of office, both to ensure that he was resident, and that as "chief magistrate" he was always available. It was also used for the entertainment of the judges of assize, and for civic entertainment, elaborate 18th century dinners and balls. It is possible that only London also maintained a mansion house of this type. In July 1834 there was a Council committee to investigate the affairs of the mansion house, to consider whether it should be discontinued. By December of the same year, the committee decided that whilst the expenses of the Mansion House were extremely heavy and warranted stronger control, it was not thought that the Mansion House should be discontinued altogether. However it was abandoned in 1835. The Mansion Houses wines were sold in September 1836 for £800. The furniture was sold in January 1837 for £2000. Plated goods, including inkstands, toast racks, candlesticks, snuffer trays, taper stands and tea urns were auctioned on 5 January 1837. Gold and silver plate (bottle labels, knives, forks, spoons, snuff boxes, tankards, tea and coffee pots, fish slices and wine strainers) were auctioned on 6 January 1837. The 10th day of the auction was for silver-topped footman's canes. The building was used as a warehouse. The Mansion House burnt down in 1895. The painted panels in the small room next to the Mayor's Parlour in the Guildhall, which depict old buildings of Newcastle, are said to have come from the Mansion House. This large Italianate style building was one of the earliest known brick buildings in Newcastle and the first Mansion House in England. The foundation stone of 1691 is preserved in the porch of 1 Ellison Place which did duty as mansion house 1837-1953. Site excavated in 1990.

A playhouse was built upon the walls of St Bartholomew's hospital, near the nun's gate. The entrance to the playhouse was from the Turk's Head Yard. The old wall was visible until about the year 1833. The passage called Nun's Lane had formerly been the entrance to this nunnery. An illustration is in Brand. Brand says that the north wall of St Bartholomew's church supported the playhouse, and that the north door was still visible in this wall. The playhouse was erected by the master of the Turk's Head in 1748.
