These houses of 1937 replaced a row of earlier miner's cottages. Top-hung casement windows with painted glass. No. 1 has its window sub-frame painted in a colour, and the window frame painted white, which was the tradition in the Edwardian period.

Built in 1910 to replace an earlier pub of the same name. The entrance is recessed within a stone surround. Bay window with an oriel window and curved parapet. Edwardian sash windows where the top sash is smaller than the bottom. Timber or brick roof verge detailing. An outbuilding has a metal finial on the roof. The chimneys are wide and tall in red brick with stone detailing and tall red pots. Large detailed cast iron Edwardian rainwater hoppers survive.

Tradition says that the house was designed by Lancelot Coxon who also worked at Roddam Hall, Northumberland, in the 1760s. William Newton made alterations in the 1770s, possibly the addition of the wings. Admiral Robert Roddam, who rose to fame in 1747 by storming a coastal battery in northern Spain which helped bring to an end the War of Austrian Succession, lived in Killingworth Hall. He was captured by the French in 1757, rose to the rank of Senior Admiral of the Red, and died in 1808. John Jameson owned the house from 1876, and the McIntyres from 1900-1911. Killingworth House was sold by auction on Wednesday 9th April 1924 advertised as a 'Country Residence together with cottages, outbuildings, fields and gardens in all over 20 acres". The most famous inhabitant of the house was the chemist Henry Eagle, who came to the area in 1924 from Romania. His biggest commercial success was an antiseptic called 'iglodine'. According to legend, a tunnel ran from Killingworth House to Seaton Delaval Hall, 7 km away. Although this unlikely, tunnels were said to have been found during the building of the Castle Green development on the site of the house in 1975. Killingworth House was demolished in 1956. Castles Green was built in the garden of the house. The north boundary brick wall of this estate is the garden wall of Killingworth House.

Historic square. One of the flagship developments of North Shields 'new town' which was laid out in Georgian tradition and pre-dating Newcastle's Grainger Town by over a quarter of a century. The Earl of Carlisle owned the land, which he sold to John Wright in 1796. Wright planned an ambitious townscape which included a grand processional way which terminated in this elegant Georgian Square. Rook's plan of 1827 shows the central gardens laid out with four entrances and an elaborate symmetrical pattern of curvaceous paths. The same layout is shown on Ordnance Survey first edition. This layout was gradually eroded. Today the space is informal and organic. A series of notches have been taken out on each side for street furniture and a long strip for a pavement outside the library. Many mature trees, mown grass with spring bulbs, a series of sinuous tarmac paths, a concrete flag path, an octagonal rose bed surrounding a life size statue of a fish wife (HER 10926).

These buildings are great, rare examples of 1930s Art Deco style properties in the North East, although some alteration has
occurred. These buildings run behind the similar properties on The Links, and although they are smaller, they are still special.

Once the grounds of a grand house called 'Whitley Park' which was built in 1789. T.W. Bulman bought the house in 1869 and re-routed the road away from the house and enclosed the estate with trees, many of which survive. In 1897 the estate was taken over by the Whitley Park Hotel Company. The house became a hotel and there were some efforts to turn the grounds into a recreational space. In 1904 part of the estate was being used as a playing field by the Rockcliff Rugby Football Club and Charles Elderton of Hebburn held a concert party there on a temporary stage with wood and canvas screens painted to look like an old Spanish town (hence the name Spanish City). In 1922 the hotel was sold to the Council who used it as offices. It was demolished in 1939 and the grounds became a public park and library.

Triangular green laid out by second edition Ordnance Survey of 1890.

Village green. Wild (2004) suggests that the characteristic green villages of Northumberland date back to the reconstruction of settlement in the aftermath of the Norman Conquest and the 'harrying of the north'. The greens originally had a defensive function to protect livestock against Scottish raiders. The wide open space in the centre of the village could also be used for fairs, markets, for grazing animals and a meeting space (Rowley and Wood, 2000, 41). Dwellings were often built around the green, with a common forge, bakehouse, pinfold, smithy, alehouse, stocks, spring or pond on the green itself (Roberts 1977, 146).

Gardens of eighteenth century house. Largely converted into a golf course, cricket pitch and bowling green. Well wooded gardens covering around 85 acres. Land enclosed by Ralph Grey by 1664.

Shop. Blooms of Tynemouth. Brilliant shop frontage on a late 19th century building. A very good example of its age and style, with recessed doorway and curved glass window.
