Harton Hall Cottages, 12 Moor Lane

This building was added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'Built in 1878, according to the builder’s date stone. It is likely to have been two cottages for the coachman and gardener of Joseph Mason Moore the Town Clerk and probable owner of the land at that date.
In 1881 J M Moore builds Harton Hall next door to the cottages. In the 1881 census George Hetherington (Coachman) and Robert Robson (Gardener) seem to be the two occupants. It is possibly the only example of late Victorian cottages in South Shields.
Later it became Harton Village Car Centre but looks unoccupied now.'
