Jarrow Secondary School was designed by Fred Rennoldson of South Shields, who also designed the Grade 2 listed Council Offices in Jarrow. The school opened on 5 October 1911 at a cost of £25,000. The headmaster was A.R. Stevens. It could accommodate 125 girls and 125 boys. 50% of the places were free in order to accommodate the children of local shipyard workers. In 1945 the school became Jarrow Grammar School. A continuous roof light was added to the main range between 1938 and the 1950s. Two prominent chimneys have since been removed. A large extension was built to the east in the late 1950s. In 1967 the school became known as Springfield Secondary School. An additional bay was added to the rear east wing. Former pupils include Jack Cunningham, politician, Stephen Hepburn, the present Jarrow MP and Alan Price, musician. Teaching staff included Claude Robinson, author, who was involved in the Jarrow March, and James Mitchell, television playwright. The school site is bounded by low brick walls with stone coping (railings removed). Entrance gates are flanked by tall brick pillars. There is a two-storey range facing north, a single-storey east wing and a two-storey west wing. The rear courtyard is occupied by extensions and temporary classrooms. The school is of Tudor Gothic design. It is built in red brick with ashlar dressings under pitched slate roofs with prominent chimney stacks. There is a central entrance with an arched portico. The main elevation has mullioned and transom windows and a castellated tower. This is flanked by a plainer section with gables and end chimneys, fixed paned and sliding sash windows. Inside the main range retains its double height assembly hall lit by large windows in the north wall, alternating with pilasters. There are similar openings in the south wall in two tiers, which allow viewing into the hall from adjacent corridors. Those at the first floor have wooden balustrades. The hall has a plaster ceiling supported on large decorative corbels, pierced by later rectangular light wells. The library has simple plasterwork, a tiled fireplace and a rear stair to the hall's east gallery. The headmaster's room has a plain cornice. The decorative scheme is largely painted plaster and glazed tile. A corridor runs the full length of the range giving access to classrooms, science laboratories and stores. The girls entrance was to the east end, the boys to the west. The first floor plan echoes the ground floor. Jarrow School was put forward for listing in 2009 but was not added to the list. English Heritage's listing advice report concludes that although Jarrow School is well-built with a well-proportioned main elevation and a good combination of red brick and ashlar dressings; overall there is a sense of formulaic, which combined with the innate austerity, represents a fairly typical example of such schools of this date. The school was demolished in March 2010 but was recorded beforehand.

A house built 1967-8 by Gordon Ryder (1919-2000) of the firm Ryder and Yates, for himself and his family. It is built of load-bearing buff brick with grey-green panels (replacing the original white) with a concealed steel structure supporting the living room ceiling. The building is a long narrow two-storey rectangular structure with triangular fin-like protrusions at the centre of the long sides. The room arrangement separated parents' and childrens' areas. The east elevation is substantially glazed with grey-green panels. The windows are the same shape as the paraboloid (oval) ceiling in the living room. The north and south elevations have horizontal bands of windows. The limited fenestration aims to restrict noise from the airport. Above the projecting fins are monopitch roofs with side panels and to the sides bands of fenestration. The south façade has a porthole window. There is a door from the living room with a raised mound of earth beneath. The west façade is blank with a large garage door. Windows and doors have mostly been replaced with uPVC. Inside - the living room, entrance hall and cloakroom are divided from the dining room, kitchen and laundry by a cranked wall that forms the side of the gallery above. The entrance leads to the large double-height living space via a short flight of steps. More stairs lead down to the dining room. A narrow stair leads to the first floor bedroom corridor with a small bridge over the entrance hall to the gallery. A narrow study projects into the garden above the south entrance. The ground floor of the west half of the house has a playroom, 4 children's bedrooms, a bathroom and boiler with the garage at the end. Above is the large master bedroom and guest room, each with en-suite bathroom. The master bedroom leads out onto a terrace above the garage. Interior walls are white painted render or brick, except the curved wall in the dining room which is covered with yellow hessian. Areas of the ground floor bedroom area are covered by fair-faced brick and cork. Joinery is painted white, except the fitted cupboards which are natural timber. Ceilings and timber are detailed to accentuate the effect of shadows. During the 1970s the dining area was partitioned off with a timber screen with a door. The kitchen and laundry have been refitted. Upstairs the master bedroom ceiling has a single concave paraboloid which is shallower than the living room. The room has original fitted stencilled natural timber cupboards. The firm of Ryder and Yates was an important regional practice in the North-East, whose work is under-published. Their work was consistently of a quality and innovation comparable with firms based in London. The practice was set up in 1953 and early work included seven private houses. Trees was the last andis the most ambitious and complete. LISTED GRADE 2

Offices for the newly merged Newcastle Breweries and Scottish Brewers (Scottish and Newcastle) built between 1964 and 1965 to designs by brewery architect C.P. Wakefield-Brand. The building was formally opened on 2 December 1965 by Sir William McEwan Younger Bt. D.S.O. The ground floor housed the main entrances, foyer, reception and stores. Above this were offices to either side of a curved spinal corridor, formed of demountable wood partitions, fixed partitions and glazed screens. At either end of the spinal corridor there are service blocks comprising lifts, stairs and cloakrooms. The board room, director's suite and flat occupied the 9th floor. There was a caretaker's flat on the top (11th) floor. In 2005 the brewery closed and has since been demolished. This office block is the only survivor of the complex and is being converted into a hotel (2010). The building has 11 storeys plus basement. It has a reinforced concrete frame between columns with metal windows over buff brickwork panels. The main elevations are supported on sculptured piloti columns and beams clad in plain white mosaic. There is a balcony at 10th floor level formed of columns faced in black granite slabs. The end elevations are clad in brickwork panels with a central vertical window slot. In plan the building has a gently curved, concave front elevation. To either side of the main entrance are black marble slabs which record the foundation and opening dates. Fixtures and fittings have mostly been removed. In the service blocks a few original toilet doors with metal plates survive. Both original stairs with terrazzo flooring survives. The upper two floors retain some later wooden cupboards and a caretaker's flat. Pevsner describes the building as 'more interesting than most of its kind because it curves gently'.

Row of houses with feature porches and chimneys. Stone lintels and cills, prominent date stone of 1895, and simple polychrome brickwork.

During this period Sir Henry Liddell (1644-1723), son of Thomas Liddell (d. 1619), 3rd Baronet and politician was the owner of Ravensworth. Correspondence between Henry and his sons John Bright (nee Liddell - he assumed the name of his grandfather Sir John Bright of Badworth, Yorkshire) and George, refer to Ravensworth Castle's poor condition and debate the pros and cons both of modifications and replacing the 'old castle' with a new house. The final decision appears to have been building a new front towards the gardens, modifying the east range and including a Palladian façade. Sir Henry died before works were complete. His grandson Henry Liddell (1708-1784), 4th Baronet, succeeded him. An engraving by Buck c.1728 - the first surviving picture of Ravensworth - shows the castle from the east as a Palladian villa overlooking an enclosed court flanked by the two medieval towers (HER 106), linked by the curtain wall. The architect is unknown. The villa was extended in the mid 18th century, probably to designs of James Paine (1716-1789). An engraving by Bailey c.1787 shows that Paine had added two flanking bays. That to the north incorporated one of the medieval towers. Additional chimneys suggest interior changes. The engraving shows the remains of an Elizabethan range and a further medieval tower to the rear (west). At this time five medieval towers may have survived, Sketches by S.H. Grimm c.1780s include an oblique view looking east. Sir Henry died in 1784 without a male heir. The barony passed to his nephew Henry George Liddell of Newton Hall (1749-1791), 5th Baronet. He brought a herd of reindeer to Ravensworth from Lapland, which Thomas Bewick illustrated. Sir Henry commissioned a map of the estate from John Fryer. It shows a central block around a rectangular courtyard with two wings extending from the south-west and north-east, and additional buildings to the east. The Palladian villa and Paine extensions look like Bailey's c.1787 engraving, but the rear (west) looks very different, suggesting that the medieval and Elizabethan ranges may have been replaced, or it may be a discrepancy between the plans and engravings. No above-ground evidence of the Palladian villa survives but there may be some below the Nash house (HER 8183) footprint or main courtyard. In 1787 it was described as 'small, but neat, without much ornament' but with 'elegantly fitted up' south-facing rooms.

Range of workshops north of the stable block gardens, adjoining the north tower. Small and single storey. Appear to be part of the original design of the stable block. They incorporate the same stone columns that surround the two possible drying yards to the immediate south. In the north-east corner of the workshops there are the fittings for a laundry or feed copper. The basin from the copper survives but is not in-situ. The laundry or copper is served by a flue and firebox on the east wall.

The woodland is situated on steeply sloping ground west of the castle complex. It comprises plantations known as Fugarfield Wood, Hill Head Wood, High Park Wood, Blackman's Wood and Silverhill Wood. A straight track runs through the woodland, dividing it from the arboretum to the east. The woodland is leased to and managed by the Forestry Commission. It mainly comprises mixed plantation woodlands on the site of ancient semi-natural woodland. The tree cover includes remnants of 19th century sycamore, oak and beech and more recent 20th century Norway spruce, Scot's pine and yew. Overhead power lines run through the centre of the woods in an unplanted wayleave. There is more diverse ground cover associated with woodland rides - including species indicative of ancient woodland - ransoms, wood sorrel, bluebell, wood avens, cleavers, wood cranesbill, foxglove and bracken. More diverse grassland rides are present within the woodland with species including ladies smock, lesser stitchwort, bugle, buttercup, cow parsley and hogweed. Mature trees (beech and yew) are also present on the fringes of the woodland along the line of the carriage drive. Rhododendrons are present on the edge of the woodland.

A clump of mature sycamore trees, known as The Peak, on the hill that protrudes to the east of Hill Head Wood. Forms a striking focal point when viewed from the castle complex.

Stone wall and piers at the entrance to Cross Lane.

An unusually deep ditch in the north-west corner of South Park. May have been part of the medieval park.
