Shown on OS map of 1890. Site now occupied by caravan site. Was served by wagonway (SMR 5051) and linked by a tramway (SMR 5052) to a coal drift (SMR 5053). Opened in 1862 by Charles Perkins and Partners. Employed 300 men and boys. The village was built close to the pithead. There were 83 houses in five groups - Cross Row, Short Row, Long Row, High Row and The Square. Gas lighting was not installed until 1910. A colliery school was erected in 1873 by Birtley Iron Company to accommodate 120 children. The school closed on 13 November 1931. The Primitive Methodist Chapel opened in 1901, built of bricks and corrugated iron. At the laying of the foundation stone, members and friends bought bricks for a shilling and had their initials inscribed on them. The chapel burned down on 5 November 1938. The colliery was owned by Hunt, Perkins & Co, EM Perkins and Partners, Charles Perkins and Partners, Birtley Iron Company, then Pelaw Main Colliery. Mill Drift closed in 1915, Riding Drift in 1921 and the main colliery seams in 1932. The village disappeared with the closing of the colliery.

Crucible works shown on 1st edition Ordnance Survey map.

White & Brown's Foundry (Iron) is shown on 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1862. However the name of the company is actually Wright & Brown. An inscribed stone for Wright & Brown dating to 1839 survives and Wright & Brown are listed in Ward's Directory of 1851 as being on Regent Street.
The foundry is shown on Oliver's 1849 map and on OS maps until 1881. By 1919 it had been replaced by Forth Banks Engineering Works.
Archaeological excavation 2017 revealed the south-west corner of the foundry. The external walls were built of substantial sandstone. Internal sandstone walls were also revealed. The 1896 Goad Insurance Plan labels the rooms Mill Edge Runners and Drying Stoves.
A rectangular furnace measuring 2.94m x 1.94m in plan, was found within the south-west drying stove room. The furnace was built of firebricks stamped VGC (Victoria Garesfield Colliery, near Rowlands Gill). There was a floor surface of red and yellow firebricks and another of sandstone blocks. Elements of six drying stoves were built into the earlier internal walls of the foundry building. The stoves comprised of brick or firebrick walls and a heat-reddened stone floor.
Within the north-east drying stove room ground raising deposits were recorded abutting one of the inner walls. Within one of these raising deposits were broken off 'legs' of kiln furniture known as 'stilts with fishtail ends' and saggars. These were used at Newcastle Pottery on nearby Forth Banks. Pottery sherds, wasters and clay tobacco pipe were also recovered from these layers. It seems that waste material from the pottery was brought to the foundry site to be used as levelling and ground raising deposits. Other levelling deposits contained clinker fragments and iron slag fragments. A floor surface would have been placed on top.

Tall covered cross, unveiled on 6th June 1926, with the Good Shepherd on one side and a miner on the other. Designed and executed by William Curry of Birtley. Memorial to the Montague Pit Disaster which took place at View Pit, Scotswood (HER 4059) on 30th March 1925. 38 miners were killed {1}. On 30 March 1925 there was a disaster at Montagu View Pit in Scotswood. Water from the adjacent disused Paradise Pit flooded the workings, drowning many miners. It took seven weeks to remove the first body from the mine, and five months to remove all of them. 38 men and boys were killed and 13 pit ponies. The main funeral was on 24 May 1925. 50,000 people lined the road. The Montagu View Pit never reopened and later a cattle market occupied the site.

As the Ouseburn leaves Jesmond Vale it disappears underground and re-emerges below Byker Bridge. Within an underground chamber it passes under Newington Road, Warwick Street and beneath the City Stadium. The culvert is 2,150 feet (third of a mile) long. It was built in two stages in the early years of the twentieth century. Before its construction, the Ouseburn cut a deep ravine through this part of the town making access from the town to eastern suburbs difficult. The valley was more than 100 feet deep and steep sided. Thus the stream was enveloped inside a ferro-concrete conduit, the valley was then infilled (mostly with industrial waste) so gradually ground level rose, creating new land for housing and roads. In fact the land was never built upon because by the time the valley had been totally infilled (it was estimated that it would take ten years to fill the valley but tipping was still taking place in the 1940s), laws had changed and it was no longer permitted to build on land fill sites. The "City Stadium" was created here instead. The culvert was built in an elliptical shape, 30 feet wide by 20 feet high. The walls are only 8 inches thick at the top of the arch, because ferro-concrete is so strong. Building work started in 1907 and completed in 1911. It cost £23,000 to build. Workers broke into a lagoon of gravel which had to be scraped out and filled with concrete before the construction of the culvert could be continued. While the culvert was under construction the burn was diverted into millraces. When the culvert was finished the burn was diverted back through it. Used as air raid shelter in WW2. It could seat up to 3000 people and had its own sick bay. A plan of the Council's air raid precaution, including the culvert and the Victoria Tunnel survives in TWAS. In the 1970s the wartime entrance to the culvert was boarded over to create an outdoor riding arena. Today the culvert still carries the Ouseburn and part of the sewer system. {1}.

Site of early Post Medieval tobacco pipe manufactory - excavations in 1999 produced part of an industrial complex possibly originating in the mid to late C17. Large pieces of a clay tobacco pipe maker's muffle kiln (tall pipe-clay cylinder strengthened with wasters (pipes broken or distorted in the manufacturing process)) were recorded. The waster pipes incorporated into the kiln dated to the period c1645-50. This activity was probably contemporary with the operation of a brick kiln (HER 5600).

Walled garden. Mostly brick, with sections of sandstone. Ornate iron gates.

Third quarter 18th century; addition c1970 of 18th century porch from Windsor Crescent, Newcastle. Brick with painted ashlar dressings; Welsh slate roof. Eastern wing is 1960s/70s reconstruction following a fire. Two storeys. Central glazed door under large overlight in 1870 porch with square, leaf-capitalled columns. Painted wedge lintels to sash windows. Interior - stair with curtail and wreathed handrail; 6-panelled doors with frieze and cornice. Stucco modillioned ceiling cornice. Now offices of Bellway Homes. Stable recorded in 2016 in advance of alterations. The stable achieved its present form in the 20th century after the east wing was demolished in 1920. The present building provided accommodation for four horses with feed store in the loft above. It retains few original features, notably the cast iron stall fittings and the remains of hay chutes in the east wall.

Work commenced in 1876. Two vertical compound rotative condensing engines provided the power, steam being raised by three Lancashire boilers fitted with a Green's Economiser. Stoney Gate was eventually electrified, yet two locally built steam winches with a vertical Cochrane boiler survive. Although no two of his stations are alike, Stoney Gate, with its fine architecture is characteristically Hawksley. In most respects, this was the last of Thomas Hawksley's grand designs for the Company because he died in 1893 {1}. Built in 1890 to the design of J E Wolfe, resident engineer for Sunderland and South Shields Water Company. The engine house, pumping station, walls, gates and piers are listed {2}.

A concrete house constructed as a prize to encourage people to donate a shilling each to the Montague Pit Disaster Fund (the disaster happened on 30th March 1925). The money was principally used to give long term support to the families of the bereaved, the last payments being made in 1963. The Daily Chronicle of 24 April 1925 gives details of the competition {2}. The house was built using the Porous Concrete method, a method used fairly extensively in Holland, which was apparently put on the market in this country by the Corolite Company of 33 Henrietta Street {3}.
