The home of William Wailes (stained glass manufacturer). Wailes went on to build Saltwell Towers (HER 8261) a short distance to the north. The crematorium now occupies the site of South Dean or Dene Tower.

Designated on 26th April 1991 and extended on 5th August 1994. Comprises the Tyne riverbank and gorge slopes, the High Level Bridge (HER 4132), Swing Bridge (HER 1003) and Tyne Bridge (HER 1581). It is now a little-frequented area although carrying major through-routes and remnants of heavy industry and commercial development from its C19 heyday. The squalid C19 housing was cleared after a major explosion in 1854. The High Level Bridge opened in 1849, leaving the riverside to stagnate. Mid Victorian commercial development focused near the station (HER 4374) and Greenesfield Railway Works (HER 3488). On the newly laid out Swinburne Street and behind High Street an imposing but disparate group of new municipal government buildings were built (HER 8316, 8291, 8275, 8315, 8274, 8311). The area at the top of the gorge slopes is now largely characterised by derelict or under-used buildings due to the unsuitability of access routes and constricted sites. The slope above Pipewellgate is now attractive informal parkland. St. Mary's Church (HER 284), now a heritage centre, is the original parish church. The most important streets are Oakwellgate, Bottle Bank, Church Street, Mirk Lane and Bankwell Lane. The mid C19 stone railway viaducts are never out of sight. There are exuberantly designed public houses and shops in Half Moon Lane and Wellington Street.

A large double-fronted stone house with good sized garden.

A plain stone terrace on the east side of Durham Road.

A south-facing brick terrace of late C19 date.

Late C19 houses. Stone built with rear extensions abutting Durham Road. The houses face west over the Chow Dene valley. One has been converted into a shop with a half-timbered shopfront and a large bowed dormer window at the eaves.

This section of Durham Road is characterised by large houses built in the late C19 and early C20. There are three pairs of semi-detached houses set back from the road in large landscaped and walled front gardens. The largest pair, at the junction with Lyndhurst Avenue have been extended to form a nursing home. This area has a leafy early C20 suburban character.

A 1970s staggered terrace plus three detached houses. A worthy development of its period.

Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cross of Sacrifice.

Next to Bethesda Free Church (HER 4716). The foundation stone for this lecture hall was laid on 6th September 1928. The hall opened on 13th February 1929. It is a brick building with stone dressings and a stone panel 'MARSHALL MEMORIAL HALL' at the top of the façade. The interior included a screened porchway with marble mosaic floor, a speaker's platform with curved walls and ceiling to improve acoustics, an oak block floor and electric heaters rather than water pipes. It was built by Messrs Robert Hudson and Sons. The architect was John Hall. Inside the hall there is a bronze plaque in a wooden frame which reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF THEIR SON LIEUT. HERBERT MYERS MARSHALL WHO AT THE AGE OF 23 YEARS LOST HIS LIFE IN THE GREAT WAR. THIS HALL AND ADJOINING HOUSE WERE GIVEN BY SEPTIMUS AND MARGARET MARSHALL". The foundation stone is at the right hand side of the door in Back Tatham Street: "THIS STONE LAID BY MRS MARGARET MARSHALL 6 SEPT 1928". Herbert Myers Marshall was a dental surgeon for the Royal Navy on HM Hospital Ship 'China'. The ship was destroyed by a mine on 10th August 1918. His parents were members of the Bethesda Free Church. The adjoining house was later demolished for a church extension {www.newmp.org.uk}.
