Quay Corner Avenue is a private road with metal gates at its northern end. The entrance is set past a set of timber boarded stables (NZ 3378 6555) to a well maintained area with a tarmac road, low stone walls, well kept gardens. There is a pair of late 19th century cottages (NZ 3380 6550) and a post 1938 house (NZ 3382 6545). Some building work has been carried out in the area between the cottages and the house to the south, with a derelict area containing building materials, an abandoned car and other vehicles. The western boundary is a concrete wall separating the Avenue from Bede's World.

1966 by Hans Schwarz. A green-black bronze female figure, 2.6m high, holding a backet containing chickens on her head. The statue stands in a flower bed to one side of the Forum shopping centre. Commissioned by J. Seymour Harris and Partners, developers of the shopping centre. Originally sited on a low brick base it was moved to its current location in 1993. The figure is a female Roman-era peasant, the site lying close to the east end of Hadrian's Wall. The statue was deliberately rough, hand-finished and has a patchy nature to the colour, to give an impression of age. The stoicism of her pose contrasts with the flapping hens in the basket. Reasons for being listed: aesthetic quality, material, historic interest (Schwarz draws attention to the subjugation of the local population by Emperor Hadrian) and contribution to the public realm. LISTED GRADE 2

1994/5 by David Gross. This timber (elm) carving, which incorporates a seat, is based on a Viking ship figurehead. A collaboration with the Activity Resource Team. Part of the Great North Forest's waymarking scheme. Supported by South Tyneside MBC, Groundwork South Tyneside, Custom House Trust and Countryside Commission.

Once part of the Jarrow Hall (HER 8070) Estate, which was itself former monastic land. The land between the hall and the church (HER 1229) was given as a memorial park in the early 20th century. The park is surrounded by brick and stone walls, with a terraced area leading up to the hall. The park has concrete pavers and brick kerbs to the paths. The grass is well maintained and there are timber and metal benches. The play area is on tarmac. There are mature trees on all sides of the park and across the northern edge of the play area, which weakens the relationship with Jarrow Hall. At the north-east corner there is a timber pergola and a formal arrangement of paths. Along the path to the church are reproduction Victorian-style lamp standards set in concrete bases with inappropriate modern lamp heads. To the west of Drewett's Park is a tarmac coach park.

The doll (the fifth in North Shields) takes the form of a fisherwomen carrying a basket, rather than a ship's figurehead, was carved for the Corporation by Robert Thompson Ltd. in 1958. It has two mice carved into it - Thompson's trademark. In 1986 the sculpture was covered in a thick layer of brown paint, which has obscured the detail {1}. The fifth North Shields wooden dolly was a tribute to May Spence (the sculptor of the fourth wooden dolly at Customs House Quay, HER 4494) by the civic authorities, funded by the Mayor of Tynemouth. It was unveiled on 22nd October 1958 May Spence's 100th birthday. The fifth dolly was carved by Robert Thompson Ltd of Kilburn in Yorkshire. The two small mice signify 'industry in quiet places'. A tradition of 144 years was broken when this dolly was placed at Northumberland Square rather than Customs House Quay. This dolly is carved in mahogany. She was restored in 1986 {2}.

This granite fountain of 1915 was origianlly located in Brunswick Terrace. It was moved to its present site in 1986 when the street was demolished to make way for the Interchange Centre. It is a four sided drinking fountain with a bowl on each side, standing on an octagonal plinth with two steps. John Maccoy, later Sir John, was Mayor of Gateshead eight times between 1912 and 1923. He became an Honorary Freeman in 1930 and died in 1935.
