This tram shelter was listed by Historic England in March 2020. The listing description reads: 'The Sunderland Tramways Company had operated a horse-drawn tramway in the town since 1879, which in 1900 was bought by Sunderland Corporation. Electrification of the service followed rapidly with the first converted service opening from Roker to Fawcett Street in August 1900. Work started on extensions to Grangetown, Fulwell and Sea Lane (Seaburn) the following year, and all had been upgraded by 1904. The tram shelter is depicted on the Third Edition Ordnance Survey map surveyed 1913-1914 (published 1919). The tram system closed on 1 October 1954, but the tram shelter has continued in use as a sea-front shelter and bus shelter.
Tram shelter, 1901-1904
MATERIALS: timber-framed with cast iron columns and timber partitions; Welsh slate roof with terracotta ridging.
PLAN: rectangular of two by four bays.
EXTERIOR: the shelter occupies a site that slopes gently to the north with two-three wide steps up to it at this end. It is a timber-framed structure with chamfered and fluted detailing to its principal uprights. Slender cast-iron columns with fluted bases and crocketed capitals support ornamental arch braces to the boarded ceiling. The end screens have two top rows of small-paned glazing bars (missing to two windows) and one large row at waist height; the original glazing has been removed. The low pitched roof with a mixture of standard and fish-scale slates, has wide eaves with end, louvred half-gables, a plain terracotta ridge and the stumps of former ball finials. End ventilator shafts rise from the public conveniences below and the original rain water goods are retained.
INTERIOR: there are head-height central partitions along both axes creating four compartments, which would have allowed shelter whatever the wind direction. The partitions are boarded and have replacement low bench seating carried on original cast-iron supports.'

The Whitley Bay police station and magistrates court is first shown on the Ordnance Survey 1919 1:2500 map. The complex is shown as a block of buildings defined by Laburnum Avenue to the west, Mafeking Street (now Fern Avenue) to the south, and unnamed back streets to the east and north, with the police station labelled as small building on the western side. A smithy is shown at the northern end of the block.
The police station appears to have been flanked by the magistrates courts whose entrances to the left (Public) and right (Magistrates) are marked by stone plaques. Later maps suggest that these were incorporated into the police station. The building is constructed in red brick with other decorative stone elements such as string courses, and scrolls and balls on the two Dutch gables on the west front.
The building forming the northern part of the complex is of rather different design, again in brick but with stone quoins and lintels to the doors and windows on the west face. The north and east faces are very plain and much altered.
The buildings forming the southern part of the complex are more domestic in scale and may originally have been police housing. The building at the southeast corner of the block (5 Mafeking Street) was last used as the Coroner's Office.
The building was closed in early 2017.

Burn Heads farm is shown on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map as a quadrangle of buildings around a courtyard with an opening to the southeast, and another small building to the north. There is a gingang on the north side of the north range. The farm had been demolished by the second half of the 20th century and the site is now a school.

'In the 1880s a group of prominent businessmen wanted a boys high school to be built in South Shields where the pupils could go straight on to university.
Lord Aberdare laid the foundation stone on 29 May 1884. Just a year later, in May 1885, 37 boys were registered and took up their places in the new High School. The two-storey building cost £6000 to build, it was designed by the Newcastle architects Oliver & Leeson and had a separate lodge for the caretaker.
In 1936 the new South Shields High School for Boys was built at St Mary's Avenue, Harton. The old Boys High School building was demolished in about the 1970s, but the Caretaker's Lodge is still there and is now a private residence.'

This building was added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'Built in 1912 for the miners who lived at Marsden Village and who worked at Whitburn Colliery. It was designed by the architect Thomas Alexander Page of 67 King Street.
"A handsome hall capable of accommodating 600 persons" (Sunderland Echo Monday 5 August 1912). The lettering "Marsden Miners Hall" is still visible on the brickwork.
It was used for social activities, union meetings, strike ballots, to campaign for a 48-hour week for Ingham Infirmary nursing staff, the 1945 Labour victory public meeting, Chuter Ede and Hugh Gaitskell held meetings there. It was used by the Marsden miners until 1967 when Whitburn Colliery closed.
There was a World War One memorial plaque in the hall dedicated to the men who served and died from Marsden (over 200 men died). The memorial consisted of 31 panels, 8 are now missing the remainder are in South Shields Museum.
After 1967 it became St Bede's Parochial Hall, it is now residential flats.'

' Westoe Colliery opened in 1909 it was owned by the Harton Coal Company. It was modernised in 1957. Sinking of the new 1600-foot Crown Shaft started in August 1959 and completed in December 1961 and a new tower was built at the surface.
In 1980 over 2,500 people worked there. It closed in May 1993 and the tower was demolished in April 1994.
The site is now occupied by houses and is called Westoe Crown Village named after the colliery shaft.
Westoe Colliery as one of the largest and important employers in the town had great economic, social and political importance and was a massive loss to the town.'

' With the demolition of houses in Wapping Street and Shadwell Street, there were plans to run a railway line from the station down a steep incline beside the turntable then along the riverside in Wapping Street to serve the docks and related industries, then on to link up with the TIC Line at Littlehaven.
The line was installed in 1939 and ran up the bank on the left close to the River Drive Bridge. A connection to the LNER was to have been installed in 1940 yet amazingly given the strategic potential, wartime conditions prevented this and the line was never used." Correction: Terry Ford has noted that the railway was actually used for a "mobile crane [...] and would have been installed for factory use.

'Opened in 1878 by the Victoria Brewery it was one of 38 pubs in the East and West Holborn area in 1897 now it is the only one left.
The Trimmers Arms gets its name from the coal trimmers who would shovel the coal out so that it was evenly spread, and level and the ship was safe. It was a tough difficult job in dark and dangerous conditions. It was rebuilt in 1891 as displayed on the builder's stone.
The licence was refused in 1910 on the grounds of redundancy. Then it was a cafe and shop and in 2004 it re-opened by expanding into the West End Vaults next door, it is still open now.'

This building was added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'Situated just behind the Pilot Jetty it is a brick-built building possibly dating from the 1930s but it was just a wooden hut prior to this. The pilots and foyboatmen have traditionally worked together.
Foyboats have existed on the Tyne for over 300 years and the name "foy" probably derives from the word "fee". The foyboats used to assist boats for fees in sailing ship days this was usually assisting boats in and out of the Tyne when there was no wind. With the advent of steam, they helped boats to dock. It is a highly skilled and potentially dangerous occupation. Traditionally foyboatmen were recruited from family dynasties.
The Tyne Foyboat station is still in daily use.'
