Known locally as The Royal. This Victorian building is mentioned in the 1899-1900 Trade Directory. Dramatic roof – distinctive.
First shown on the OS 1896 1:500 town plan and labelled 'Royal Hotel'.

The corner plot on Mile End Road and Ocean Road served as a Victorian residence at one time. It featured an impressive portico and railed garden, which were lost alongside a number of other Victorian gardens when Ocean Road was widened. The site was taken up in the 1890s by Farquhar Laing, a Corbridge man, and 10 Mile End Road was opened as The Royal Hotel (now The Ship and Royal). In 1891 Laing went on to build a function room on waste ground to the rear (Stanhope Street). Designed by architect J H Morton, it was connected to the Hotel by passages and became known as the Royal Assembly Hall, a sumptuous centre of Victorian and Edwardian society. Built in the Italian Renaissance style, it incorporated a ballroom and stage for an orchestra, which was adapted for use by touring vaudeville and circus shows. There were two entrances, one on Ocean Road and the other on Mile End Road. They both led to the auditorium at the rear and were connected to it via small bridges over a narrow alley. In 1920 the building was purchased by Messrs Black and was adapted at great expense for use as a cinema, incorporating many of the original architectural features such as the grand staircase. It was opened as the Scala Cinema in 1922. The entrance in Ocean Road had a most imposing facade above the entrance hall, which contained an entrance lounge and cafe. There were two further cafes on the second floor, access to which was by the grand staircase. This also gave access to the bridge to the other side of the alley where the Scala Cinema was situated. The cinema was re-named Gaumont in 1951. The entrance from Ocean Road was closed in 1960 and turned into a furniture store, Granthams. This was taken over later by Leveys, which is now closed. The Gaumont was disposed of to the Brent Walker chain of cinemas in 1975 and re-named the Focus Cinema. It was eventually taken over by an independent and re-named Regal Cinema. The building was converted into a 3-screen cinema in 1980, providing seating capacities for 329, 74 and 74. This was a short-lived venture as the Regal Cinema closed on 26th June 1982. The building became a bingo club and amusement centre in 1984 and has since been converted into a nightclub, going through several owners and name changes; The Venue, Masons, Coyote Wild and Vibe. The building remains largely vacant, apart from weekend use as a bar. The building had fallen into serious disrepair due to years of neglect and the current owners had to replace the roof, the condition of which had led to water ingress and rotting timbers. Much of the façade of the building was re-pointed.
Sadly any original internal features have been lost over the building’s long and colourful history. However, the building is sound and no longer in any imminent danger thanks to the swift intervention of the current owners.

Built in 1868 by the Tyne Improvement Commission to oversee the development of South Pier. Now in use as Essy's Italian Restaurant. Brick with ashlar quoins and dressings. Two storeys with square watchtower on flat roof.

This shelter and lavatories was built for people using the sands and is known locally as Gandhi’s Temple. Opened 19th September 1931. Almost no change has occurred to the building throughout its life apart from the removal of seating and partitions from the upper storey which led to the assumption it was a bandstand. Recorded in 2015 ahead of conversion to a bar/restaurant. Architect James Paton Watson.

Well-detailed dark blue painted shopfront with clock. The brickwork, shaped gables and heavy entablature decorations over the upper level windows are high quality. Venetian windows in front gables. Formerly called The Railway Inn. The impressive scale of the Waterfront PH dominates the first range of buildings along Mill Dam Road. Each storey is progressively taller than the next, giving it impressive proportions. Its well-detailed, dark blue painted shopfront is a very distinctive feature, allowing it to retain its essential verticality following more recent alterations.
The building's brickwork, shaped gables and heavy entablature decorations over the upper level windows (including paired columns and Venetian windows in the front gables) are interesting and high quality. The clock is an important historic feature (and, apparently, there was also once a clocking-in machine inside the building).

Former farm building survives on The Green. The barns to the rear have been built over.

On Local List in 1995 but now demolished.

19th century public house.
This building was formerly on the South Tyneside local list, but was removed in 2023 due to demolition.

Two storey Public House built between 1858-1876 on the west side of Frederick Street. Constructed as part of the mid-late 19th century urbanisation of the area due to the towns growing workforce. In 1876 the pub was owned by Mr J Gibbons and in 1885 by Mr J Lillico. The building was recorded in 2010 by Archaeological Research Services. At the time of recording the buildings had many original features both internally and externally such as sash windows, tiles and fireplaces. The pub frontage was in a very good condition following the removal of late 20th century render. In 1989 the pub underwent a £60,000 refurbishment by Peter Clark Designs for the owners Tom and Calire Mein. During this phase of refurbishment many of the original features were uncovered and restored. Further recording of the building and the southern section of the street took place in 2013 by Tyne and Wear Museums Archaeology section prior to demolition.
