Public swimming baths and wash house 1907 (Lynn Pearson says 1886). Incorporated into the perimeter block of the Byker Wall Estate (Kendal Area) in the early 1970s. Red brick with ashlar dressings and slate pitched roofs with large glass skylights. Mostly two storeys with one single storey bay. The main south elevation is in three distinct sections. The 3 bays at the east end are formed by 3 cross gables with a row of cross windows at first floor and a row of blocked openings to the ground floor. Linked by a narrow single storey bay to the central section which contains segmental arched entrances for men and women with large windows to each side. The second bay projects at first floor level and has a cross window in a half dormer and mullioned windows to either side. The west side of the building is blind with 7 large recessed panels between brick pilasters ending in a tower. The rear north elevation is mostly plain with mullioned and cross windows, 7 large recessed panels and a tall tapering chimney. The east gable has a row of mullioned windows and a Byker stair attached, apparently to house the reception of the official opening of Byker by the Duke of Edinburgh in 1974. The interior is believed to have housed the original heating plant for the Byker estate. Old Shipley Baths are listed for the following reasons: they form an integral part of the original design concept whereby existing public buildings were incorporated into the new scheme; they form part of the important perimeter block which shelters the estate from traffic noise and creates a micro-climate with low-rise housing in its lee; they have strong group value with the adjacent group and form visual contrast {2}. Converted to a boiler house and community use during the Redevelopment. Now used for climbing. Only one of three pre-1914 swimming baths in Tyne and Wear (the others being Gibson Street and Wallsend). LISTED GRADE 2

This two storey building has decorated sandstone pillars and arched ground floor windows set in a brick face. The windows have leaded stained glass upper panes, and lower panes engraved ‘Ship Tavern’. The pub is known locally as the ‘Bottom Ship’. LOCAL LIST

1857 by A.M Dunn. Two chapels, a gatehouse and west and south entrances. St. Nicholas Cemetery chapels act as a large and impressive sandstone entrance to the site. The entrance consists of an archway and two identical single storey, double height, chapels on either side of it. It was probably built around 1857 as a mortuary. Chapel on east was Church of England, chapel on west was nonconformist. The east wing contained a vestry and two utility rooms/workshops, the west wing was converted into a groundskeeper's lodge with a dining room, living room, kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms. The chapel buildings were recorded in 2013. They were described to be functional and unremarkable. The laebl stops, corbels and grotesques and gargoyles are their redeeming features {2}.. LOCAL LIST

Nunsmoor Park is an area of approximately 25 acres.

There is a lodge at the south gates and bowling green, tennis courts, bandstands, a play area and Birdcage Walk can be found within the park grounds. LOCAL LIST

These former workhouse buildings were built in the mid-nineteenth century, before the construction of the General Hospital. They were built in response to the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act. The buildings appear on an 1844 map of the city and on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map of 1858. The rooflines are dominated by dormer windows capped with steep triangular pediments. Some of the windows on the lower storeys also have pediments, although these are less steep in pitch. On the west side the ironwork guttering is exposed and this frames the windows. The dark stonework is given some colour by the terracotta edgings on the roofline.
The former workhouse buildings were recorded in 2011 in advance of demolition. A small portion of wall survives as a boundary towards the south-eastern corner of the site on the west side of Brighton Grove (2023). LOCAL LIST
