Description
Engine shed associated with Lilley Brickworks (HER 5140). Shown on the third edition OS map of 1919. Located at the top of a cutting to the Derwent Valley Railway (HER 1019). OS maps show railway lines running into the building from the north east.The engine shed is built of yellow colliery bricks in English Garden Wall 1 and 3 bond. The roof is no longer present. On the north-west and south-east elevations are three brick arch-headed windows with rounded brick sills and iron window frames. Each window was set in a recess. Along the top of the north-west elevation were chamfered bricks. There is a large double timber door with iron supports, in the north-east elevation.There is a timber door in the south-west elevation. Added to the south-western corner was an extension (coal bunker). This is built in the same brick. On the south east side of the building is a retaining wall supporting the drop in level to the railway cutting. Attached to the interior of the south wall was a pair of brackets supporting some form of winding gear.

Description
Generator house associated with Lilley Brickworks (HER 5140). This generator house is shown on OS maps from the fourth edition of 1939. The earliest maps label it as an engine house. The building is constructed from yellow brick in English Garden Wall 1 and 3 bond with grey mortar. The roof is slate and has a metal chimney over a small extension to the south-west. The north-west and south-east elevations are mirror images of each other. Each has a tall window with stone sills and lintels and a large double door set in recessed brick. The doors are accessed by steps with black painted railings. An I-section steel girder protrudes from the south-east elevation. The girder supports an A frame and pulley system. Below the tall windows are small metal hatch doors with metal lintels. There are two windows in the north-east elevation, one is narrower than the other. Between the windows is a double door. The roof at this end of the building protrudes beyond the gable end with timber bargeboards, finial and supports near the top. The south-west elevation has two windows, one above the other on each side of the extension. The south-west elevation of the extension has a large double door and a small window above. Adjacent to the window is a set of bells, possibly for an alarm or telephone. Above the windows are two protruding I-shaped steel joists, one of which supports a pulley system. The north-west and south-east elevations of the extension have a door, below which are sockets for a timber balcony and steps. Attached to the north-east corner of the building is a coal bunker with a hinged timber cover. The interior is covered in grey plaster render which is painted white to a height of 2m. A large part of the floor is raised up. There is a pit in the south-west part of this raised area. Two parallel girders run beneath the ceiling north-west to south-east. Running along the top of the girders is a small whelled bogey with a rope hanging from one end. Adjacent to the south-west wall is a metal frame with porcelain electrical insulators. There is also an original fuse box and a small tank. There is a mezzanine floor in the extension. OS maps show railway lines running into the building from the north east.

A decorative steel-framed commercial building of the late 1920s. Split into Sunco House, India House and Curtis Mayfield House. Six storeys in brick, concrete and stone, with steel-framed windows. There are original double bay doors on the ground floor west elevation that open into parking bays. The ground floor façade is clad with sandstone, and brick pilasters, with sill courses at the first floor in what appears to be an artificial stone. The stone sills and lintels above the steel or wooden framed casements on the upper floors appear to be of Portland stone. The brick pilasters are detailed with a Greek Key pattern and figurative centrally-placed eight-pointed stars. Internally several features such as internal doors and stair rails appear to survive although the interior has not been observed in detail. In 2013 the ground floor is occupied by Mental Health Concern and World Headquarters. Building is of local interest and makes a positive contribution to the area.
Curtis Mayfield House was proposed for the Newcastle local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'Curtis Mayfield House is the building which houses World Headquarters, Newcastle's longest running independent nightclub space. It has been open since 2003, but the brand has had several homes since 1993. An integral part for all the underground music and creative scenes in Newcastle, WHQ has been key to the development of a lot of artists which have gone on to become big throughout the UK and beyond.'

Description
A utilitarian steel-framed brick warehouse with a decorative faience façade, built in 1920 by Marshall and Tweedy of Newcastle upon Tyne. Disused and in poor condition {1}. Built in 1920 to replace a C19 inn marked the 'William 4th Public House' in 1862. The building occupies the site of two former burgage plots which were merged to form a single plot. The building was constructed as a warehouse for the firm J and G Cooper. It is of a form known as a Manchester Warehouse in which textiles were stored and sold. It is a long rectangular building built of brick and steel with its main elevation faced in faience tiles. The main elevation has four storeys. The ground floor has large square shoulder-arched windows with a central entrance and projecting string course above. A rusticated round-headed arch rises above the first and second floor windows of the central bay. The central first floor window has a pedimented hood with flanking square-headed windows. The second floor windows are round-headed. The third floor windows are square-headed with decorative scrolls flnaking the central window. To the rear there is a long warehouse over floor floors with tiers of full height lights through its northern elevation. Inside, the administration block retains its original layout and some 1920s joinery (doors and panelling in stairwell area). The original wooden stair is also present. Rooms are otherwise plain with no original fixtures and fittings. The four storey warehouse to the rear also largely retains its original layout. Each floor is a large open space, with glass or wooden partitions.
SITEASS
English Heritage chose not to list this building in June 2010. The façade faced in green-brown faience is good quality and is relatively unaltered. There are shop windows to the ground floor. It is typical of its date, if not old fashioned, being designed in Edwardian Baroque. Has some architectural quality in its proportions, detailing and materials. The rest of the narrow steel-framed building reflects the introduction of steel framing in the Edwardian period to increase the glazing area and the size of the building, enabling merchants to gain maximum return from their plots. This was standard practice by 1920. There are few original features of note within the building. The board room could not be identified as it must have been stripped out during conversion to later uses. Some panelling and original doors and architraves remain within the stairwell. These and the stair are fairly standard for their date. Overall this warehouse has neither the architectural interest nor the completeness demanded by the listing criteria for an industrial building of C20 date. Gifford assessed the building in 2007 and described it as in very bad condition. It was given a BAR grading A (immediate risk of further deterioration or loss of fabric; no solution agreed) and C (slow decay; no solution agreed).
