Guidepost. Late 19th or early 20th century. Made at the Pioneer Foundry by Smith, Patterson & Co. of Blaydon (in operation from 1870 to 1954). This major guidepost and signpost manufacturer also made the listed posts at Rock Farm in Northumberland and Kirkpatrick Durham in south west Scotland. Once ubiquitous, guide posts were often removed during the Second World War and a diminishing number now remain. This attractive example is in good condition (cast-iron) and retains its three original fingers. It has a decorative triangular finial. It compares favourably with other listed examples, such as Frating in Essex, St. Agnes in Cornwall and Hedgeley Hall in Northumberland. Guideposts are a rare survival in North East England, particularly on Tyneside. Less than 100 cast-iron finger posts are listed nationally (6 are in Northumberland). The Shiremoor signpost is shown on OS maps from 1920. It predates the 1930 memorandum issued by the Ministry of Transport, which states that direction posts should have square ends. The fingers have chamfered corners and black raised lettering - finger one: SHIRE MOOR 1/2 MILE, BENTON 3 1/2, NEWCASTLE 7 1/4. Finger two: EARSDON 1/2, HARTLEY 3, BLYTH 7. Finger three: NEW YORK 1 1/2, NORTH SHIELDS 3 3/4. LISTED GRADE 2

Shown on Ordnance Survey fourth edition as Preston Gate PH. Inter-war, neo-Georgian pub. LOCAL LIST

Third pub of this name on this site. Built in 1923. The Fat Ox takes its name from an animal immortalised by the Northumbrian engraver, Thomas Bewick. When it was slaughtered in 1789 it weighed 216 stones. Edward Hall, who built Whitley Park is said to have owned the beast. An earlier version of the pub apparently had a thatched roof. John Buchanan of the Hanover Square Brewery owned the pub from the 1890s until the 1920s, when it was taken over by Ind Coope & Allsop. LOCAL LIST

Built in 1893 by Mr John Common Morris, then the tenant of the Duke of York, and it was intended that his son, Thomas Patterson Morris should be the licensee. The licensing authorities would not allow an individual to hold two licenses, but it was claimed that the Carville had been built as Mr Morris was liable to lose the tenancy of the Duke of York, since he was only a yearly tenant. Even so, a full licence was not granted until 26th August 1895. The house had been built "as a first class hotel, especially adapted for the accommodation of visitors." The Shields Daily News account of the Brewster Sessions meeting quoted the cost of building as being about £4000. This was a period of great expansion in Wallsend - the population had doubled from 10,000 in 1885, with no increase in the public houses. Mr Morris submitted a petition with 1000 signatures in support of his application. There was a large assembly room above, in which a number of societies regularly met, including the Boilermakers (No 1) Society. Also known as Carville Heaven and Harry's Bar. Thomas P. Morris can be traced as the publican until 1906 after which he seems to have retired to York House, Park View. No record of him has been traced after 1927. Closed in 2010. Destroyed by fire 30 April 2010.
