Description
Includes the one storey double fronted Beacon House (No. 42) with a navigation beacon. Monk's Haven has an elaborate stone porch with Roman composite pilasters. These grand properties have doorways in a stone surround. Monk's Haven has interesting double-height castellated bay windows. Some properties use decorative ironwork on or above bay windows but much detail has been lost. Monk's Haven retains its rainwater goods - large decorative hoppers and square brackets with fleur-de-lys motifs. There are former service buildings at the rear of Beverley Terrace with good functional architecture. There are gardens opposite the terrace. The central part of the gardens was a lawn tennis ground in 1898. By 1916 the space had been landscaped and plated and it has remained the same since. It forms part of a wildlife corridor. The gardens are sunken and are similar to Panama Gardens at Whitley Bay.

Description
Tynemouth Aquarium and Winter Garden opened in 1878 (Lynn Pearson says 1876). It cost £82,000 and was designed by John Norton and Philip Massey of London. Its original design included two towers. The top floor with curved glazed roof was the winter gardens, the second floor was the marine aquarium and the basement gave access to the sands and provided a refreshment bar. At the back of the building there was an open air roller-skating rink which could be flooded to provide a seawater bathing pool.

This was the North East's second roller skating rink (the first being at North Shields HER 9828). Rincomania was the first phase of roller skating, following the invention of a four-wheeled skate in America in 1863. Rincomania returned to the Plaza in the Edwardian period with improvements in skate design and maple rather than asphalt flooring.

The building was renamed the Tynemouth Palace in 1898 and the winter gardens became a theatre. The glass roof was replaced by corrugated iron. It was called the Palace Theatre in the 1920s, the Tynemouth Plaza in 1926 and the Galahad Ballroom in 1933.

Roller skating's third phase began in 1930 with Tynemouth Roller Skating Club. The roller-skating rink was in the basement and the open air rink at the back was used for ballroom dancing on summer evenings.

Afrer the war a Repertory Theatre was built in the basement for an in-house Repertory Company.

An advert of 1962 for the Plaza Tynemouth "The Show Place of the North" lists a spacious ballroom, modern theatre, roller skating rink, amusement park, exhibition hall, licensed bars and café and the "new fabulous Polynesian licensed buffet The Beachcomber - the luxury rendezvous of the north east".

In the 1970s the roller skating rink became a skateboard arena.

It became an amusement arcade in the 1980s.

During the First World War, the building was used as a billet for troops.

It was damaged by a bomb in 1940.

Tynemouth Plaza was destroyed by fire on 10th February 1996.
