Description
Six World War Two underground air raid shelters lie within a grassed area between the CWS shirt factory and the pyjama factory. These are shown on a 1989 plan found in the shirt factory and are labelled 'bomb shelters to be fully collapsed and infilled'. This appears to have been carried out thoroughtly with only isolated elements surviving of the shelters after their destruction. A watching brief in 2013 was held while three shelters were exposed and recorded prior to the redevelopment of the site. The shelters were of the covered trench type (constructed from 1939 onwards) and were regular in plan with an entrance projecting from the north-west corner where a stairway would have originally ran, an example of which survived insitu at shelter 2 protected by thick reinforced concrete walls. The shelters were constructed using prefabricated materials with concrete wall panels cemented against concrete slabs that lined the trench.

The shelters were constructed using prefabricated materials with concrete wall panels cemented against concrete slabs that lined the trench. In 2010 an evaluation was carried out on one of the air-raid shelters. It was found to be poorly preserved and had collapsed in on itself. One of the walls survived to a height of c.1.2m. The shelter appeared to have been partly filled with broken glass before its demolition.

Description
1920s Co-operative Wholesale Society factory. An L-shaped building. The main section is two storeys in red brick English garden wall one and three bond but there is a single storey wing to the east in red brick stretcher bond. A small kitchen and canteen extension has been added to the south elevation. The two storey block has decorative brickwork comprising a projecting double course in stretcher bond between ground and first floor windows. The north elevation of the one storey wing has alternate bands of red brick in soldier course, stretcher course and header course at the top of the building. This decoration is typical of 1920s and 1930s Art Deco style. The building has a flat felt roof. The windows are steel framed casements with hopper opening lights in the upper sections. They are glazed with reinforced plastic 'Plexiglas'. Original doors are wooden panelled double doors with glazed lights in the upper part with carved muntins around the panels. Some doors have been replaced with modern steel security doors. Inside, the entrance doorway leads into a small hallway with a tiled floor and half tiled walls with stairs to the first floor. The ground floor is the factory floor with two steel staircases leading to the first floor. At the north end is a small office. The upper floor is a large open storage area. The single storey wing includes a work room with walls tiled in green and cream and a linoleum floor. There is a similar room to the east. A large open-plan room with some wood panelling and a tiled fireplace was once several smaller rooms.

Description
Two sets of co-ordinates are given because the position of this wreck is questionable. N 54 58 895 W 001 13 589 (six 1/2 miles ESE of the Tyne south pier lighthouse) is the precise location of an intact wreck of the same dimensions as the Pink Rose, but local divers who have examined the wreck say she is far too large to be the Pink Rose. N 54 54 021 W 001 08 050 is 9 miles ESE of Roker lighthouse. The Pink Rose was a steel British steamship registered in Liverpool. 739 tons, 54.89m long, 8.55m beam (wide) and 3.81m draught (needed 3.81m of water to float). She was built by N.V. De Schpsw Merwede at Hardinxveld and was owned at the time of the loss by Richard Hughes & Co. Her single steel propeller was powered by a three-cylinder triple-expansion steam engine with two boilers. Her machinery was built by Earle's Ship Builders at Hull. On 10 March 1937 the Pink Rose was carrying a cargo of construction equipment was she collided and was lost.
