Baker suggests that Newbottle Pottery was founded c1720 and was known as "High Newbottle" in Pottery Yard behind Dial House. There were two potteries at Newbottle, the other was Low Pottery (HER 4642). Newbottle Pottery is mentioned in 1765 as having been worked for many years by the late Mr Henry Wilson to great advantage, making white and brown ware. There was another potter in Newbottle in 1776 called Thomas Byers. Henry Scott & Co ran Newbottle Pottery from 1779 until 1825 when Robert Fairbairns & Co took over. The tithe plan of 1839 shows the High Pottery as Pottery Yard (plot 127). A transfer of deeds in 1850 describes the pottery as consisting of two kilns, several pan-houses, packing houses, warehouse, workmen's houses with an open yard. The premises then belonged to the Earl of Durham. James Beckwith and John Broderick seem to purchase the premises. The partnership was dissolved in 1852. An advert of 1864 lists Newbottle Pottery at fence Houses as the premises of William and Henry Broderick, manufactures of blue, white and brown earthenware. High Pottery closed in 1878. Broken kilns and works could still be seen in 1890. In 1906 Emily Street and Bertha and Lily Terraces were built on the site. Pottery waste was dug up during road widening in 1968 at Pottery Yard {2}. Andrew Fletcher, a local historian from Houghton-le-Spring, is researching the Newbottle Potteries. He has observed a large collection of 18th century-C19 pottery kiln wasters, including transfer-printed items, biscuit ware, unfired pottery, saggers, kiln tripods etc in a loose spoil tip to the north-west of the High Pottery site {1}. Ball suggests that the Newbottle Potteries were founded in 1700 and 1740 {3}. Trial trenching at Emily Street/Front Street in 1992 recovered kiln debris, pottery, hand-made glass bottles, unglazed biscuit wares, kiln tripods and stands. Nodules of burnt flint from nearby flint crushing mills. Clay tobacco stems showing heat-warping, unused pipe bowls [kiln also used by local clay tobacco pipe maker?]. Four heavily used pipe bowls of popular mid 19th century identical design. Finds assumed to be associated with Newbottle High Pottery {6}.

Three large stone ranges, an engine/boiler house and chimney are all that remain of the farm buildings. The one-time farmhouse lies to the south. Its date is uncertain. All of the buildings, except the chimney and part of the engine house are of random ashlar where the walls were intended to be visible, and of rubble inside or where once masked by ranges now demolished. The roofs are slate. The roof trusses are king-post braced on to tie beam, all bolted. There is only one certain trace of an earlier building. The three principal buildings now form a single unit with no partitions or upper floors. The existing ground surface is concrete throughout. They were originally divided. The farm is called 'North Gosforth: South Farm' on the 1840 Tithe Award. At that time it was owned by the Trustees of the Rev. Ralph Henry Brandling and occupied by Thomas Charlton. On the OS first and second edition maps it is called Gosforth Moor House. Along with Low Gosforth Hall, the farm was part of Lot 2 in the Sale Plan and Particulars of Sale of the Brandling Estates in 1852. The Moor House Farm consisted of a convenient and substantially built farmhouse, 2 labourers cottages, farmyard with stabling for 8 horses, a cow house, calf house, two hovels with granary over, barn with threshing machine, straw house etc and 156 acres of land {1}. An example of a farm which although developed in early to mid 19th century underwent further improvements later in the century. A farm where the motive power changed from the gingang to the steam engine. The surviving imposing set of barns has been converted to housing {4}.

The Carr Tomb is located on the west side of the porch of the parish church of St Mary the Virgin. It is a box tomb of standard 18th century type, with moulded base, plain rectangular substructure, and top slab with simply moulded edge. This had decayed, and a larger sandstone slab, bearing what is presumed to be a replica of the original inscription, was superimposed during the 19th century or C20. The original limestone top slab was found underneath, although badly decayed and skimmed with cement. The tomb was restored in November 1999 and dismantled under archaeological supervision. The archaeological watching brief demonstrated that the tomb does not conceal the entrance to the family vault. The entrance to the Carr family vault lies beneath a nearby large sandstone slab alongside the west wall of the church porch. The vault is assumed to extend under the north-western part of the enclosure, or perhaps beneath the south aisle of the church {1}.

Newcastle's only hexagonal "Penfold" pillar box, erected 1872-9. The type, which is one of the earliest, was named after the designer, Mr J.W. Penfold, and was introduced in 1866. In 1879 the more familiar cylindrical shape was adopted, or more accurately readopted, as the earliest boxes introduced by the novelist Anthony Trollope, who was also a Post Office Surveyor's Clerk, were also cylindrical {1}. Pillar box. Between 1872 and 1879. Octagonal box of third Penfold type; plinth
with moulded coping; high band with slot flanked by POST and OFFICE; moulded
cornice; leaf-decorated low ogee top with bud finial, VR monogram below frame
for list of collection times. Founder's name on plinth illegible under thick
paint.

Pillar box at junction of Chester Crescent and Sandyford Road - a very rare example of a post box erected in 1936 - the one solitary year of the short reign of Edward VIII. The Royal insignia reads "E VIII R".
The pillar box has been moved to the east side of Portland Road opposite 15 Chester Crescent.

Thought by many to be an important part of the functional and decorative fabric of British streets, the red telephone box is becoming a rare sight. Two of the most prestigious designs known as the K2 and K5 models were by Giles Gilbert Scott who also designed , among other things, Battersea Power Station and Liverpool Cathedral. In front of Whitley bay Station stands an even rarer K4, whose design incorporated not only a telephone kiosk but also a letter posting box and stamp selling machine and is now one of only a very small number surviving in the country {1}. 1930 or later. Type K4: cast iron, painted red. Three top panels with perforated crowns for ventilation. Stamp selling machines and posting box to rear. 18 pane windows to three sides, all in fluted surrounds with panels beneath.

Outside the premises of Mawson, Swan and Morgan, now Waterstone's, stand ten lamp standards (six on Grey Street and four on Hood Street) dating from 1902-4 by W.H. Knowles and T.R. Milburn. Constructed as gas lamps in cast iron with tapering hexagonal fluted shafts, the lights have now been converted - appropriately outside Swan's former building - to electricity {1}.

A series of four fluted cast iron 19th century gas lamp posts stand on the North side of the Green in the vicinity of the church (SMR 628) {1}.
