William Potter & Co. were 'beer and porter brewers' here from 1787. Baillie's directory of 1801 lists the business as Messrs Potter, Langhorn & Co. in Skinnergate. In 1818 they also had a brewery at Swalwell with Robert Jobling and Cresswell Jobling, trustees of Margaret Jobling and Addison Langhorn Potter. William Potter and Addison Langhorn Potter ran the business from then on. Shown on Oliver 1831. The last directory entry for the Newcastle Brewery is 1844. A 'Malthouse' is still shown on the site on OS 1879 25" edition. Gone by at least 1940.

Plot vacant on Oliver 1851. 'Wrestling Ground' shown on OS 1879 25" edition. Lord Decies paid for the stands at the ground. The Easter "Newcastle upon Tyne Wrestling and Great Northern Games" was held annually at the site until 1876 when the North East Railway Company required the land. The event was forced to relocate to the Northumberland cricket ground on Bath Lane. By 1894 'Forth Bank Stables' had been built on the plot. Wrestling was a hugely popular sport in the Victorian period. The "Easter Wrestlings" would bring the town to life with champions of the sport travelling from the surrounding counties to compete. Each county would have a representative colour behind which the competitors would stand. Northumberland's flag was blue with an "N" marked on it, whilst Durham's colour was red with it's representative "D". The rules of the competition under the auspices of the Newcastle Wrestling Society were simple: "The rules of the competition were that each county should meet one from the opposing baneer till none should have been left".

This plot was occupied by a ‘Wrestling Ground’ on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan of c.1855. Forth Bank Stables appear on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey plan of 1894. The stables were owned by the Railway industry and later became garages.

This plot is shown as vacant on Oliver’s map of 1851, but on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey plan of 1898 is marked as 'Newcastle Saw Mills'. On the 4th edition Ordnance Survey plan of 1940 it is marked as 'Redheugh Saw Mills'.

These works are shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan of c.1855. By the time of the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey plan of 1894, the plot has been taken over by 'Forth Banks West Factory (Engineering)'.

The firm of J & G Joicey & Co was founded about 1850 by two brothers, James and George Joicey. Their premises, known as Forth Banks West Factory were located on the banks of the River Tyne on Pottery Lane, Newcastle on a cramped site sandwiched between two glass works. George Joicey died in 1856 and his interests in the firm passed to his son, Jacob Gowland Joicey, who became the managing partner and eventually the sole owner. After his death on 1st December 1892 the firm was continued under the same title by his Trustees, James Joicey, Hannah Joicey and J.W. Robinson. Eventually a private limited liability company - J & G. Joicey & Co Ltd - was formed to acquire the business as a going concern, and it was duly registered on 9th November 1900 with a nominal share capital of £15,000 in £10 shares. J & G Joicey & Co were colliery and general engineers, building all kinds of steam engines. Quite a number of these were colliery winding engines and one of them, built in 1855, is preserved at Beamish Museum. All Joicey's products were numbered in a single series beginning at 1. The 'Engine Works' are first shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan sandwiched between Plate Glass Works (HER ref. 4881) and Flint Glass Works (HER ref. 4891). On the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey plan of 1894 'Forth Banks West Factory (Engineering)' seems to have taken over the plot of the engine works and the flint glass works. An 'Engineering Works' is still shown on the site on the 4th edition Ordnance Survey plan of 1940.

Shown on Oliver 1831, OS 1879 25" edition, OS 1898 25" edition (smaller with a large building alongside). On the OS 1940 25" edition, it is shown as 'Skinner Burn Timber Yard & Saw Mills'. First listed as Timber and Raff merchants Clayton, William, Skinnerburn in Pigot's directory 1834. The yard became known as Clayton and Armstrongs Yard. The yard acquired adjacent lime kilns at some point prior to 1840. The Clayton and Armstrong Yard continued in use throughout the 19th century. By 1925 the yard was taken over byJames Scott & Son.

These works are shown on Oliver’s map of 1831 as 'Flint Glass Works' and on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map as 'Northumberland Glass Works (Flint)'. There were also some flint glassworks called ‘The Close Glassworks’ established by Joseph Airey circa 1728, partly on the site of an old meeting house. Isaac Cookson was probably financially involved with these works. From 1783 onwards, the firm was Airey, Cookson and Co. In the early 19th century the Northumberland Glass Company acquired the works.

This flour mill is shown on Oliver’s map of 1831.

Shown as 'Foundery' on Oliver's map of 1831 occupied by Robson, Riddle and Co. Shown as 'Skinnerburn Iron Works' on OS 1879 25" edition. By 1896 it had been reduced in size but was still functioning. However, in 1899 the iron foundry buildings were largely rebuilt and reconfigured for Robert Henzell who operated the Henzell Northern Oil Company. The oil company occupied the site until the mid 1960s. Derelict since the 1980s. The buildings were recorded in 2015.
