Railway spur with sidings. This was not shown on the 1st edition OS map, so was built after 1855. It connected the North Eastern Railway, Newcastle and South Shields Branch (SMR 2509) to the Hebburn Colliery C Pit Wagonway (SMR 2231).

In 1885, Robert Stephenson took over a disused shipbuilding yard on the elbow of the River Tyne at Hebburn, previously owned by McIntire and Co. Ltd. (This last yard was set up in 1883 and had produced only 4 ships before its closure in October 1884) initially to build and repair ships. The yard had a river frontage of 800 feet and five building berths within a total area of 17 acres. In 1888 a boiler shop was erected on the site and a shear-legs capable of lifting 100 tons set up. After much planning and deliberation, a large graving dock was also eventually constructed in the yard in the early 1900s. This was 700 feet long, 90 feet wide and had a 29 feet depth of water at the entrance. The dock was designed by Thomas Meik and Sons and built by Robert McAlpine. It was, at the time, one of only three similarly sized docks in Britain. The Hebburn Yard did not prove successful, and it went into receivership in a general depression in 1908. In 1912 the yard was subsumed within Palmer's shipbuilding and ironworking enterprise as Palmers Hebburn Co. Ltd. With Palmer's collapse in 1932, the yard was again closed, but re-opened in 1934 as part of Vickers Armstrong, as a ship repairing yard, after shipbuilding on the site had been curtailed following intervention by National Shipbuilders Securities Ltd. Vickers invested heavily in the yard, and by 1939 its reconstruction was largely complete. During the Second World War, the yard was heavily involved in the repair of warships.

A new graving dock was constructed in the late 1950s which was intended to take ships of up to 80,000 tons. However, the massive increase in the size of vessels at this time soon made the dock redundant for many types of ship and the yard was closed again in 1970. The yard was merged with Swan Hunter in 1972 and reorganised as part of a multiple shipyard complex {2}.

Lead Works, marked as Disused on the 2nd edition mapping, and are not shown on 1st edition so in use at some time between 1855 and 1895. These works occupied part of the site of earlier Coke Ovens (SMR 2225).

Portland Cement Works, which occupied part of the site of an earlier Blacking Manufactory, (SMR 2224). It was not shown on 1st edition OS mapping and must have been built after 1855.

Shipbuilding Yard, with Jetty and Slips. Newcastle shipowner Sir John Crass, Harald Merrylee and N. Hunter-Doeg formed the Newcastle Shipbuilding Co. Ltd in August 1919 to take advantage of a post war boom in the shipbuilding industry.
The ship repairing business of Huntley was purchased at Hebburn with one slip and a few workshops to the west of Hawthorn, Leslie yard. With a number of promised contacts for oil tankers, it was intended to eventually construct ten building berths and two fitting-out berths, all along a river frontage of 1500 feet. This involved the removal of around 60,000 tons of ballast before the new yard was constructed. Three berths were complete by early 1920 and the first keel was laid on 26th February 1920. The first launch at the yard took place in December of the same year.
There was, however, a dramatic slump in the freight market from April 1921 and the new yard collapsed financially. Two vessels already launched remained at the yard until 1922, when they were taken away and completed elsewhere.
