This building was added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'The original houses date from at least 1856. The building itself appears to have been used for accommodation for police constables, and the yard used to host prison cells. After that, it became the last Arab boarding house in the area.
There have been Arab boarding houses in South Shields since 1894. South Shields had one of the largest Yemeni communities in the country and the majority of them were merchant seamen. An estimated 700 Yemeni sailors from South Shields lost their lives in World War One. In 1920 there were at least 8 Arab boarding houses. Ahmed Ali Hussein opened this boarding house in 1945.The boarding house would offer the seamen assistance in securing their next ship, money if the men ran out and advice if they needed any kind of help. The boarding house was still used by Yemeni men until the 2000 as a place to meet, eat, play cards and dominoes, it played a vital role in keeping the Yemeni community together.
It has appeared in several books including 'From Taiz to Tyneside' by Richard Lawless and "The Last Of The Dictionary Men" by Mathew Kipling, Tina Gharavi, and Youssef Nabil. It was the topic of a short film by Tom Mcgorrian shown on BBC in 1992. Peter Fryer and David Campbell produced a documentary called "The Boarding House" based on this boarding house in 2009.
It is the last of the Arab boarding houses and it is still in use as a boarding house, but these are now largely Indian marine students.'

'Built in 1891 as recorded on the date stone. It was designed by the architect Thomas Alexander Page of 67 King Street.
Twice yearly people used to go there to collect their "divi" this was a share of the profits made by the Co-operative Wholesale Society (CWS). Many older people can still recall collecting their "divi" from this building, the practice died out by the 1970s.
The Co-op still own the building and it is now called Co-op Funeralcare. It is probably the only shop/store in South Shields which has used the same premises for 131 years.'

It became the park keepers lodge in the late 1890s and then was used as a radar training station by South Shields Marine & Technical College students.
It was demolished in 1969 and a rockery marks the site with the original anchor from the tower still on the side.'

'Probably built about 1890 the Pilot Jetty was used by the Tyne Pilots to travel out to ships to help them navigate in and out of the river. Tyne Pilots have been doing this work for over 500 years.
They worked closely with the Foyboatmen who have a building near to the Pilot Jetty. Even though this was a working area it was very popular place for fishing and crabbing. It stopped being used by the pilots in the 1970s.'

'John Fenwick was a linen and woollen draper who opened his first shop at 6 King Street in 1833, this shop later became Woolworth's. In 1865 his son Robert Cook Fenwick joined the family firm. John Fenwick died in 1873.
In 1889 the architect Thomas Alexander Page of 67 King Street designed the building of 44 King Street near the Fowler Street end. It opened as a furniture store on Friday 17 October 1890 and was described as "One of The Largest Stocks In The North" with "Five Immense Saloons Over One Hundred Feet In Length".
Robert Cook Fenwick died in 1912 and then his nephew Edward Stanley Fenwick took over the family business until he retired in 1939. The address was changed to 3-5 King Street. Hardy & Co Furnishers took over the store in 1939 this was a very popular furniture shop until 1974, when the fast-food chain McDonalds acquired the building.
It is a lovely double fronted symmetrical building with ornate carved sandstone and two triangular pediments on the roof. It was probably the first furniture department store in the town.

These buildings were added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'This large imposing 2 storey early Victorian dwelling was the original farmhouse of South Farm and has a prominent location in this part of the village.
The house is of random limestone construction & is of a traditional but unpretentious design, & is set in a slightly elevated position, with an open aspect.
The windows consist of 2 over 2 timber sliding sash style frames, with stone heads & cills. The front entrance door is set in a stone porch, with a pitched gable roof.
The visual impact of the property is enhanced by the dwarf retaining wall, with well-kept lawn behind. Garage block: "An early Victorian farm building, originally part of South Farm, which was converted some years ago into 6 garages, which are accessed from the rear (The Orchard).
The building is visually imposing in an elevated position and is a fine example of random limestone construction, typical of this area & era. The appearance is enhanced by a small Georgian style window in the front elevation but also by the limestone retaining wall at street level, with pleasant landscaping behind. Although the building was re-roofed some time ago with profiled brown concrete tiles, these have weathered well & do not detract from the overall appearance.
This building is referenced in the East Boldon Neighbourhood Plan (paragraphs 5.14 & 5.22).'

These buildings were added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'A group of 6 pairs of early Edwardian semi-detached villas, located just outside of the Conservation Area.
The unusual design was the work of a local architect, Oliver Hall Mark, who was only 23 when he designed the houses. He went on to become the official architect for educational buildings in Sunderland, until 1945.
4 pairs of semis have imposing 2 storey brick bay windows, having gable pitched roofs above, with a half-timbered gable peak. 2 pairs of semis have only ground floor brick bay windows, with low pitched roofs. All of the semis have recessed front doors, which abut the party walls, & incorporate unusual open balcony features above. The steep pitched roofs are of red Rosemary clay tiles, with deep bargeboards to the gables, & have impressive chimney stacks.
The houses are offered additional privacy by the deep front gardens & brick boundary walls, many having moulded brick gate pillars, with decorative capping stones. Most of the boundary walls are topped with neatly trimmed hedging. No. 13 has had a recent 2 storey side extension added, but this is subordinate in nature & is in character with the main house.
The unusual design of these houses & the variety of architectural features displayed, provide an interesting and attractive vista, when approaching the village centre from Dipe Lane & Bridle Path. Immediately to the south of these houses, is a slightly older detached villa, 1 Bridle Path (Jubilee House). Built in 1897, the year of Queen Victoria's Jubilee (hence the house name), for the Linge family, who were market gardeners from Lincolnshire. The fields around the house were cultivated to provide food for the miners.
These houses are referenced in the East Boldon Neighbourhood Plan (paragraphs 5.14 & 5.22)'

This building was added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'Red brick church hall with sandstone details, built in 1863 in Gothic Revival style. The church hall, which pre-dates the adjacent church by 13 years, includes a small annexe to the east gable. The front elevation features brick buttresses and high, narrow arched windows, and an original entrance porch, which is highly detailed.
Although the original church hall was relatively small, the building was substantially extended to the rear, in the 1920's. However, the front elevation is largely unaltered and makes a bold contribution to the street scene.
This building is referenced in the East Boldon Neighbourhood Plan (paragraphs 5.14 and 5.22).'

This building was added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'A real period piece from the days when a mock rustic look was in vogue. The three rooms were refitted with fake half-timbered walls and beamed ceilings at an uncertain date - it could be late 1930s but just as likely 1950s or even early 1960s.
Table service was then still available- see the buzzer indicator box in the public bar and bell-pushes in the rear room ('Captain's Cabin'): the bell-pushes and all furniture have been cleared from the third room since the late 1990s.
The public bar is unusual as being the smallest of the three rooms and retains a bar back fitting at least 70 years old.
