This Victorian Cemetery was opened as ‘Byker & Heaton Cemetery’ on April 24th 1890. It is a large space enclosed within a brick wall. Within it are two fine chapels to the north and south of a lodge at the west entrance gates. A tree-lined central avenue runs the length of the cemetery, and paths branch from this to form a grid in the cemetery {1}. The cemetery was built to serve the expanding Byker and Heaton suburbs. The site is 12 acres in size. The architect was J W Taylor of Westgate Road. In 1913 the cemetery was doubled in size to 24 acres. Two years later a Jewish section was created within this extension. Graves include Stephen Browlow (1828-1896) landscape and portrait artist; Claude A Cooper (1931-1986) showman who bought Spanish City at Whitley Bay; Lionel Jacobson (1906-1978) chairman of Jackson the Tailors on Clayton Street; Private Edward Lawson V.C. (1873-1955) soldier of the Gordon Highlanders. In 1897, aged 24, he rescued two soldiers under heavy fire at Dargai in India. He was awarded the Victoria Cross for his bravery.

Description
The Sungold building was a large Victorian industrial structure, the only building of its kind which survived in the west end, an area formerly defined by industry. There was variation in the style of the red brick building. The fine south end of the west elevation was four storeys at its tallest point and had segmental arched windows with sandstone keystone decoration. The elevation was capped by Dutch gables with ball finials. This section of the building was connected by an extension to the large two storey structure which made up the bulk of the building. This section had gables and dormer windows but was less decorated than the south end of the west front.
The building was demolished c2007 and replaced with terraced housing.

Elswick
Description
This retaining wall is the only remnant of Amstrong’s Elswick Works, once Newcastle’s largest employer and most significant works. The stone wall, with its chutes and arches were used for transferring material from the upper to the lower level of the armaments factory. The Elswick Works had been founded to build hydraulic machinery to power cranes and bridges. By 1854 the Works secured its first defence contract for the creation of submarine mines. However by the 1970s the site had become semi-derelict. In 1985 the Tyne and Wear Development Corporation regenerated the area into a business park, and were responsible for retaining the coloured brick face. LOCAL LIST

The former Nurses Home was built opposite Newcastle General Hospital in the 1920s. A subway connected the basement of the Nurses Home to the 1870s section of the hospital.

The large four storey building is predominantly red brick, but has a sandstone ground floor and basement, and a projecting cornice above the second floor windows. The north front has 11 bays and the porch at the central main entrance is a semicircle supported by columns, with the city coat of arms carved into stone at the centre of the semicircle.
