Description
In 1842 the Bowes Railway line was extended for a further two and a half miles to Kibblesworth Colliery. The line consisted of two more inclines, one from Mount Moor to Long Acre, known as the Black Fell Incline, and another from there up to Kibblesworth. Both required stationary engines, and both were single line. In July 1853 work began on the Marley Hill - Kibblesworth link which conected the former Marley Hill line with the Ravensworth railway. It was opened in September 1854. The line was extended to the Dipton Deight Colliery in 1855, thus completing the railway and allowing all of Bowes' coal to travel on the same line to Jarrow. Part of the line west of Kibblesworth was known as "Birkheads Incline" - running from the top of the 550 feetmoor called Birk Heads down to Kibblesworth, it worked as a self-acting incline wherein the weight of the full tubs running down the incline hauled empty sets of wagons up the hill. The line west of Kibblesworth was abandoned in 1969.
SITEASS
Monument on the English Heritage Register of Buildings at Risk 2007, priority D - slow decay; solution agreed but not yet implemented. This section comprises three important elements of what by the mid 1850s had become the longest colliery railway in the Coalfield; the extension of the original line to Kibblesworth, the early Marley Hill line, and the Kibblesworth - Marley Hill link. Overcoming terrain by use of rope haulage in the 1840s and 1850s was clearly an industrial approach, in comparison to the tunneling and bridging being carried out on commercial lines by this date. Not part of the scheduled area but as important in both the understanding of and the actual development of the whole colliery railway. Although difficult to follow near Marley Hill, the route from there to Lamesley is in tact and includes notable features, particularly the enbankments of the Birkheads Incline. Archaeological investigations at Kibblesworth in 1997 revealed that the 1842 trackway was so heavily disturbed, little could be discerned about its form of construction. The lack of stone sleeper blocks however, suggested that here, wooden sleepers were used from its original phase. Heritage At Risk 2008, priority C (slow decay, no solution agreed), condition 4. Suffering from severe erosion and loss of trackbed. Black Fell Hauler House is vacant and is suffering from extensive vandalism. The Warley Locomotive Shed suffered storm-damage in 2005 and emergency repairs were completed in 2006 but it remains vulnerable. Listed on English Heritage's Heritage At Risk Register 2011: Suffering from severe erosion and loss of track bed.The site also suffers from extensive vandalism.The Wardley Locomotive Shed suffered storm-damage in 2005 and emergency repairs were completed in 2006 but it remains vulnerable, along with many other sections of the site.

In 1842 the line was extended for a further 2 and a half miles to Kibblesworth Colliery. The line consisted of two more inclines, one from Mount Moor to Long Acre, known as the Black Fell Incline, and another from there up to Kibblesworth. Both required stationary engines, and both were single line. In July 1853 work began on the Marley Hill - Kibblesworth link which connected the former Marley Hill line with the Ravensworth railway. It was opened in September 1854. The line was extended to the Dipton Deight Colliery in 1855, thus completing the railway and allowing all of Bowes' coal to travel on the same line to Jarrow. Charles Mark Palmer gave it the imposing title of the " Pontop and Jarrow Railway". At its full length of 15 miles it was the longest linear route of the Great Northern Coalfield railways. The line west of Kibblesworth was, other than a short reprise in c1974, abandoned in 1969. Part of this section of the railway was known as "Birkheads Incline" and was part of the important link by the partners of the former "Grand Allies" under the aegis of Charles Mark Palmer, to connect the Marley Hill - Burnopfield line with the Kibblesworth to Jarrow line. The construction of the line from Marley Hill to Kibblesworth was the final link in the formation of the Pontop and Jarrow Railway, an achievement which was completed in 1854. The Birkheads incline was a 11/4 mile long stretch running from the top of the 550ft moor called Birk Heads down to Kibblesworth, it worked as a self-acting incline wherein the weight of the full tubs running down the incline hauled empty sets of wagons up the hill. The Birkheads Incline had an average gradient of 1 in 19. The incline closed in 1969.

Description
The continuation of the Bowes Railway - former Pontop and Jarrow Railway - from the bottom of Springwell Incline and the Wardley Locomotive Shed to what became the site of Monkton Coke Works. This section was worked by locomotive and was part of the final stage of the colliery line which culminated in staiths at Jarrow. This part of the line was part of the original line laid out by George Stephenson in 1826, which in its first months was worked by horses. The average gradient was 1 in 220, the steepest section being 1 in 80. The locomotive worked section was four and three quarter miles in length. Opening shortly after the Stockton and Darlington it was one of the first sections of railway designed to be worked by locomotive.
SITEASS
This section does not lie within the scheduled area but as part of the original line is of equal significance, being contemorary with the Hetton Railway as one of the earliest designed to use locomotives. Archaeological investigations at Wardley in 1997 revealed that a number of different construction techniques had been used for the original trackbed. No evidence was found for a wooden trackway, although horses had been used as a means of traction in the very early days of the railway. The original form of the 1826 trackway at Wardley consisted of cast-iron fish-bellied rails carried on stone sleeper blocks. At an unknown date the trackbed was raised up to 0.70m with a number of alterations. The final phase of the trackbed was found to be heavily eroded, but occasional wooden sleepers survived.

Description
Ironworks founded in 1691 by Ambrose Crowley. The large majority of the complex was erected between the late 1690s and 1718, with limited later additions and alterations. It consisted of a forge, slitting mill, plating (rolling) mill, steel furnaces, nail and file-makers workshops, warehouses, offices and housing. The Crowley Company also operated a similar complex at Swalwell, together with extensive workshops at Winlaton village. The Crowley works employed up to 1,000 people and had their own laws and social security system, including a system of sick pay, a health service, a school and widow's pensions over 200 years before such things became available nationally. The complex was unique in Europe. It was the forerunner of the factory system and also formed the origin of the North East's tradition of ironworking and naval engineering. The site worked until the mid-late nineteenth century and was later overlaid by coal waste from the nearby Clockburn Drift and by the Derwenthaugh Cokeworks. Excavation in 1992 showed some survival beneath the coal waste and has exposed a considerable element of an eighteenth cerntury dam, with associated spillway and race: Winlaton Mill. The Winalton Mill Works stood deserted for many years until it was finally demolished in 1936. SCHEDULED ANCIENT MONUMENT
SITEASS
A masonry wall was exposed during coal extraction in 1991 along with a further wing wall and steps to the dam. These features were part of the dam and mill race system, established at the opening of the Crowley works and an C18 rebuild of an earlier structure. The features were recorded {4}. Considerable remains of the works survive. Building ruins survive to above final floor levels {6}. Reclamation of the Derwenthaugh Cokeworks Site enabled the Council to fund excavation and recording works. Trial trenching started in 1990 which proved that the site was well preserved. Second programme started in 1991comprising the monitoring of the reclamation work and recording of structures exposed beneath the coal waste. The dam and weir were substantially intact and survive as impressive monuments {6}. Scheduled in June 2004 due to the large integrated ironworks having formed a precursor of the Industrial Revolution, due to its good sub-surface preservation and its survival of extensive documentation. The dam retains an important 'horizontal-arch' weir {English Heritage June 2004}.

The graphic includes its associated Mill Race and the High Dam on the River
Derwent {1}. Perhaps the greatest influence on Winlaton Mill was Sir Ambrose Crowley, an iron master from London, who set up in Winlaton, and later Winlaton Mill, in 1691, bringing with him workers from Sunderland and a few from the continent. Crowley's works became famous, not just for the products, but also for his set of laws covering every aspect of the worker's daily life, to ensure the smooth running of his works. These rules were very strict and included an evening curfew marked by the ringing of a bell. The workmen were allowed to drink ale, but drunkenness was not tolerated. Crowley established a system of sick pay, a health service, a school and widow's pensions over 200 years before such things became available nationally. Crowley was originally attracted to Winlaton Mill partly because of the plentiful supply of coal, the charcoal from the woodlands (for converting iron ore into steel) and the water of the River Derwent for power. He later opened an additional works at swalwell, from where ironware was shipped to the rest of Britain, Europe and possibly the Americas. The Winalton Mill Works stood deserted for many years until it was finally demolished in 1936 {2}.

Description
Partly preserved standard gauge rope haulage railway with associated structures and apparatus. One of a large number of important colliery railways leading to the south bank of the Tyne. From staiths at Jarrow the line was opened in 1826 to Springwell and Mount Moor, having been engineered by George Stephenson. In 1842 it was extended to Kibblesworth and by 1855 it had linked with other sections of colliery railway which stretched toward Pontop and became known as the Pontop and Jarrow Railway. It was renamed the Bowes Railway in 1932 and worked until the closure of the last colliery on the line, Kibblesworth Colliery, which closed in 1974. At its closure three stationary electric haulers, one gravity inclined plane and diesel locomotives were all used, making this the last such system in Great Britain. Included within the monument are the colliery and railway workshops which comprised the former Springwell Colliery. SCHEDULED ANCIENT MONUMENT

Repairs undertaken to associated structures with grant aid from HLF. Works on-going to the track and associated structures by the Bowes Railway Company". Monument on the English Heritage Register of Buildings at Risk 2007, priority D - slow decay; solution agreed but not yet implemented. Archaeological investigations in 2003 included a measured survey of the Black Fell incline, recording of trackbed retaining walls, photographic survey of a steel plated bridge and the excavation of a series of trial trenches. The trenches revealed that in its original form the railway consisted of a ballasted trackbed inbetween sandstone retaining walls with parallel drainage gullies of sandstone construction either side of the trackbed. The trackbed cutting was subsequently raised and widened, covering the gullies. This may be connected with the doubling of the track in 1853/4. Where the trackbed was embanked as part of the Black Fell incline, the primary phase of embankment comprised of re-deposited natural clay probably taken from the railway cutting. Later the embankment was widened and raised, again probably associated with the doubling of the track in 1853/4. Heritage At Risk 2008, priority C (slow decay, no solution agreed), condition 4.

Partly preserved standard gauge rope haulage railway with associated structures and apparatus. One of a large number of important colliery railways leading to the south bank of the Tyne. From staiths at Jarrow the line was opened in 1821 to Springwell and Mount Moor. The suggestion that the line was engineered by George Stephenson is generally thought not to be true. The line is significant because of its combined use of rope hauled inclined systems to move coal up and down the hilly terrain from Springwell to the flat section near Wardley, where one of the earliest built locomotives would take the waggons to Jarrow. The line was gradually extended and interlinked with other lines and collieries. In 1842 it was extended to Kibblesworth and by 1855 it had linked with other sections of colliery railway which stretched toward Pontop and became known as the Pontop and Jarrow Railway. It was about 15 miles long. It was renamed the Bowes Railway in 1932 and worked until the closure of the last colliery on the line, Kibblesworth Colliery, which closed in 1974. At its closure three stationary electric haulers, one gravity inclined plane and diesel locomotives were all used, making this the last such system in Great Britain. Included within the scheduled monument are the colliery and railway workshops which comprised the former Springwell Colliery. The workshops were recorded in 2003. The later extensions are not particularly innovative or early in railway engineering terms and so when the line was scheduled, the more historically interesting, earliest and most complete sections at the north-eastern end of the line were chosen for protection. The scheduled area represents the different forms of traction in use on the line, which was the last operating standard gauge rope hauled railway in the company - a stretch of line from Wardley to Lamesley which illustrated a self acting incline and a reciprocating incline as well as two stationary haulage engine houses and the Springwell Bank Foot Loco Shed where the original locomotives were housed. However the unscheduled sections are significant enough to warrant archaeological attention when the opportunity arises.

Description
Durham beehive kilns were the first successful system of making coke with Durham coal and these ones, built in 1861 at the Marquess of Bute's Victoria Garesfield Colliery, worked until 1958 when they were the last working beehive coke ovens in the country. The bricks from which the ovens were built were made on site and at nearby Lily (later Lilley) Colliery. The coal used in the ovens came from the Victoria seam at the Victoria Garesfield Colliery and the Brockwell seam at the Watergate Colliery. A narrow gauge railway ran along the top of the batteries of ovens, the trucks (known as 'small tubs') charging the ovens from above (it took four wagons to charge each oven). From the early 20th century the waste heat from the ovens was used to raise steam for generating electricity, which in turn was used by a cuprous oxide plant. This plant, established in 1915, sold much of its output to manufacturers of antifouling paints for ships. From the range of 193 on the site, five plus two halves have been preserved and a plaque recording their place in history has been incorporated into the monument. Scheduled as an ancient monument in 1975 the ovens are now held freehold by the Tyne and Wear Industrial Monuments Trust who organised the restoration of the ovens in the 1980s. SCHEDULED ANCIENT MONUMENT
SITEASS
There has been a serious deterioration in the condition of the monument since 1997. In particular, there has been considerable damage to the flue; a hole over 1m long has been breached in the roof of the flue and the brick outer face to the west of this has been removed for a length of at least 2m. Much of the damaged material has been thrown back into the flue. Other more superficial damage has been caused by the lighting of fires on the top of the oven bank and there has been further loss of fabric to the north west corner of the monument. The ovens themselves are full of litter. Vegetation remains a problem, primarily through its physical damage to the structure, but also because it affords a screen to the site, making it more difficult to detect unwanted activity. It was agreed that the best way to tackle the problem would be through a management agreement with a capital sum for repair work to put the site in good order. It was also agreed that it was essential for the site to be made secure to prevent further damage and this should be effected through placing iron grilles at all openings and by opening the site up by the removal of vegetation. {English Heritage MPP Interim Memo 2000}.

From the range of 193 on the site, five plus two halves have been preserved and a plaque recording their small place in history has been incorporated into the monument. Scheduled as an ancient monument in 1975 the ovens are now held freehold by the Tyne and Wear Industrial Monuments Trust who organised the restoration of the ovens in the 1980s {2}. Whinfield Coke Ovens were built in 1861 as part of the Victoria Garesfield Colliery. At their height there were 193 ovens in use producing 68,000 tons of coke each year. In 1915 a cuprous oxide plant was added to the site. The techniques of coke manufacture, however, advanced considerably in the early 20th century and the old beehive ovens were superseded by ovens which captured the many profitable by-products of the process. Here at Whinfield, however, the old ovens produced such high quality coke that they continued in use many years after those in the rest of the coalfield had fallen out of use. Before their closure in 1958 they were the last working beehive ovens in the county. To commemorate this, five complete ovens and two partial ovens were preserved by the National Coal Board from the long battery which once stood here. In 1973 these remains were designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument and have since been restored by the Tyne and Wear Industrial Monuments Trust and Gateshead Council {4}. The Whinfield coke ovens were built in 1861 at the Marquess of Bute's Victoria Garesfield Colliery. The bricks from which the ovens were built were made on site and at nearby Lily (later Lilley) Colliery. The coal used in the ovens came from the Victoria seam at the Victoria Garesfield Colliery and the Brockwell seam at the Watergate Colliery. A narrow gauge railway ran along the top of the batteries of ovens, the trucks (known as 'small tubs') charging the ovens from above (it took four wagons to charge each oven). From the early 20th century the waste heat from the ovens was used to raise steam for generating electricity, which in turn was used by a cuprous oxide plant. This plant, established in 1915, sold much of its output to manufacturers of antifouling paints for ships {5}. Recorded by NAA in 2016 as part of landscape survey. A statement of significance was also produced as part of this survey.

Description
Nineteenth century hydraulic swing bridge. The main structure, complete with its hydraulic equipment, is by Sir W.G. Armstrong & Co. of Elswick. Opened for road traffic 15th June 1876 and for river traffic 17th July 1876, work having started in 1868. Although the pumps were electrified in 1959,the original hydraulic engines are in every day use moving the bridge. The length of the moving part is 281feet and weighs 1450 tons. It was erected by the Tyne Improvement Commissioners at a cost of £233,000. Thought to be the fourth bridge on the site. One of the few surviving nineteenth century hydraulic swing bridges in the country, also important for its connections with Armstrong and for its role in the development of industry in the upper parts of the Tyne.

It was the largest swing bridge in the world when it was finished. The yard it was built in at Armstrongs was still known into the mid-late 20th century as Bridge Yard. Although the pumps were electrified in 1959,the original hydraulic engines are in every day use moving the bridge. The length of the moving part is 281feet and weighs 1450 tons. It was erected by the Tyne Improvement Commissioners at a cost of 233,000 pounds. Thought to be the fourth bridge on the site. In the 1920s it was opened up to 20 times a day.

Description
A large nineteenth century range of industrial kilns, basically of two types. Seven complete and one semi-complete kilns are housed within a massive stone battery, having a total of 15 draw arches, each arch having 2 or 3 eyes. To the south of the range stand two detached circular sectioned brick built kilns wrapped about with iron bands. In front of the kilns stands the remains of a brick and concrete loading platform dating from the 1950s from which the lime was loaded into trucks on the railway which ran below. Limestone came from Marsden Quarries to the west of the site, coal from Whitburn Colliery (1874 - 1968). The kilns are probably of similar dates. Lime was taken away on the adjacent railway built in the 1870s by the Harton Coal Co., and extensively rebuilt in 1926. Both the kilns and the colliery closed in the 1960s but stone is still worked in the nearby quarry. A recording programme was completed and a programme of conservation works drawn up by 2002.

A large nineteenth century range of industrial kilns, basically of two types. Seven complete and one semi-complete kilns are housed within a massive stone battery, having a total of 15 draw arches, each arch having 2 or 3 eyes. The two southern arches appear to be of an earlier independent build. To the south of the range stand two detached circular sectioned brick built kilns wrapped about with iron bands. Limestone came from quarries to the west of the site, coal from, probably, Whitburn Colliery ( 1874 - 1968 ). The kilns are probably of similar dates. Lime was taken away on the adjacent railway built in the 1870s by the Harton Coal Co., and extensively rebuilt in 1926 {1}. A bank of industrial limekilns thought to have been built in the 1870s and set in the magnesian limestone coastal outcrop. Limestone for the kilns came from Marsden Quarries which had been at work since the early years of the nineteenth century. Coal to burn the limestone came from Whitburn Colliery which was opened out in 1874. Both the kilns and the colliery closed in the 1960s but stone is still worked in the nearby quarry. There are a number of differences between the various types of kilns on the site, but there are basically two types of structure. The earlier type consists of seven complete kilns within a long stone battery. The later kilns, built of brick, stand at the south western end of the stone battery. These are circular and wrapped around with iron bands which prevented the kilns from collapsing through expansion of the hot brickwork. Within the stone range of kilns are fifteen draw arches, each arch having two or three " eyes ". Of the two brick built kilns one has three arches with a single " eye " in each and the other has a solitary draw arch with three " eyes. " In front of these stands the remains of a brick and concrete loading platform. The loading platforms were an original design feature of the kiln although the present platform dates from the 1950s. The lime was loaded into trucks from the platform on the railway which ran below. The railway was originally built as a colliery railway in the 1870s by the Harton Coal Company, but was extensively rebuilt when the present coast road was built in 1926. The high level platform was constructed between WWI-WWII. It provided additional space for the coal and limestone waggons to approach the round kilns. Both platforms are utilitarian in appearance. The platforms were examined in 2015 after a proposal to remove them due to possible instability. It was concluded that their loss would hinder the understanding and appreciation of the monument. The limekilns are of high significance both locally and nationally due to their size, the two types of kiln involved (demonstrating chronological building development) and their association with large industrial development in the area in the 19th century.

1890 for the North Eastern Railway. The last operating jetty staithes on the Tyne. Over 1700 feet long, of braced timber construction. Three berths for ships at either side; upper and lower decks with gantries at intervals. Of historic
importance as a relic of the trade which first brought prosperity to Tyneside. Were the last working timber staiths on the Tyne, and represent the only remaining substantial timber staiths in the region. The survival of the trackways,gantries and chutes allows complete interpretation of the monument. The sophistication of the design adds to their importance.

A drawing shows one face of the bottom section of a cross-shaft divided into panels by roll mouldings; on one panel a ring knot, on the other 2 curving loops. Ring-knot patterns are fairly common in the Durham area in the post-Anglian period, so this is an important confirmation of the archaeological evidence for the survival of a burial ground at Jarrow in the post-monastic period. It has been dated to the late 10th or early 11th century.
